I've never had anything on playbook that required I back it up. I save all my data files to another pc or the cloud and don't worry about the apps as they can always be reinstalled when it's time for a routine security wipe. Prefer clean installs of the apps anyway just in case the files start getting corrupted.
Ebay for the rapid charger, delivered to your home, problem solved. Don't need a usb port.
