Pinephone OS Backups (System Images)
#7
Today, PinePhones and PinePhones Pro are used with Tow Boot. Tow Boot exposes the eMMC of the phone. Having the eMMC at hand in the computer allows to save it simply as an image in the computer.
On a Linux system, it could be, say /dev/sdb2. I did succesfully:

$ sudo umount /dev/sdb2
$ sudo partclone.ext4 -c -d -s /dev/sdb2 -o 20230820myimage.img

There should be equivalents in Mac or Windows computers.
