hello,

I have set a "correct" linux distribution on my Matrix.
I would like to test others OS but be able to roll back to this working system.

How can I backup it on a computer (windows, linux) ?

Could someone provide an howto ?

Thanks

I don't think there is howto anywhere. But it could be possible to use MfgTool2 to read whole eMMC content to image file.

Thanks vpeter's advice have not tried this,
But maybe you can have a try to tar the whole filesystem just in eMMC ,because eMMC size should be ok : )
and our matrix support samba ,you can direct copy all the files too

Thanks

Kind Regards

True. Just dd-ing and gzip-ing whole /dev/mmcblk0.
But doing this on running system .... not advisable. Be sure to stop all unnecessary processes.
