You don't have any kernel sources - ergo, you can't back them up.

It depends which version of the e-smith server/gateway you have whether the patch command is included. But whether it is included or not, you will still have a problem - you don't have linux kernel source, ergo, you can't patch it. And even if you could, you don't have the make command, you don't have a compiler, etc, etc.
The e-smith server and gateway is a server and gateway, and not a software development system. E-smith recommends that you use a RedHat workstation for software development. It is *possible* to add all
the required software to an e-smith system, but it is almost certainly not worth the trouble.

I know that Fran Boon did some work on that. Have a look at
http://www.partyvibe.com/e-smith/ and see if anything there helps you.
