There aren't any menu.lst_backupmode files in any of my grub installations.

You wouldn't have it on a default install, you have to create that file.

An example of how it should look is on the first page of this thread.

One thing to suggest is that in Option 3, you mention that backing up at this point will not allow you to use the fluxbox menu icon to backup. You could add in an option to use sed to remove the line that starts the backup from ~/.fluxbox/menu, if it exists. For example:

Well, this option in the script backs up your current setup on hda1 just as it is. If you have edited the fluxbox menu and removed or changed the backup/restore options, it is just telling you that these changes will be permanently saved in the hda3 backup, and short of re-adding them yourself, or restoring from the backup that is saved on the restore disk, they will stay changed.
