I suggest using afio. It compresses single files, not the whole archive,
which makes the backups less vulnerable. It is compatibel with cpio.

You do not need to mount a disk to used it with cdrecord and mkisofs.

There should be several example configurations installed on your system: /etc/X11/fvwm/system.fvwm2rc /usr/doc/fvwm/sample.fvwmrc/* The man page is quite detailed, just copy one of the config files (i suggest /etc/X11/fvwm/system.fvwm2rc) to ~/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc and start tailoring it to your needs.

No need to apologiese, your intentions are clear enough. The hook system is nice (especialy the automatigcaly build Debian menu) but in my oppinion overkill. You can use it but why bother with x hook files if you can achieve the same result by building your own .fvwm2rc. If you think about it, the hook system is nothing else than a .fvwm2rc broken down into parts read into the system.fvwm2rc to build your own .fvwm2rc. Uhm ja, you guess what i mean.
