eMMC backup
#20
Alright, I think I have my noob friendly system backup procedure.

  1. Get a MicroSD card the same size as your eMMC, and insert it into the PineBook Pro 

  2. In Terminal, run:  lsblk 

  3. Figure out which disk is the one you want to back up and which one is the one you want to back up to. 

  4. In Terminal, run:  dd if=/dev/mmcblk1 of=/dev/mmcblk0 status=progress 
       (where the first one (if=) is the name of the drive you want to copy, and the 2nd one (of=) is the name of the drive you want to copy to.) 


  5. When finished, reboot Pinebook Pro with microSD card inserted and confirm that it boots to a copy of your eMMC's drive. 

  6. Keep MicroSD card as backup, or create an image of it on another hard drive in another computer.
