Alright, I think I have my noob friendly system backup procedure.
- Get a MicroSD card the same size as your eMMC, and insert it into the PineBook Pro
- In Terminal, run: lsblk
- Figure out which disk is the one you want to back up and which one is the one you want to back up to.
- 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.)
- When finished, reboot Pinebook Pro with microSD card inserted and confirm that it boots to a copy of your eMMC's drive.
- Keep MicroSD card as backup, or create an image of it on another hard drive in another computer.
