eMMC backup
#13
I agree with above - it is plausible to create backups of the two unmounted boot partitions with dd and then tar xvfz root, but you'd still have to fdisk and build out 4 partitions before restoring, and while it's pretty easy to feed n,enter,enter,enter,enter,w into fdisk to wite a single partition to a drive, writing 4 of them takes more care and could be a PITA.

now, if you are using the same version of linux as what you backed up, you should be able to overwrite the mounted filesystems using tar, but you will need to install and then untar to the drive.

it doesn't get happy
it doesn't get sad
it just runs programs
