DDBR method to backup and restore

[cszhy]

Hi all:

I know people use ddbr method to backup and restore their linux device.
they make a bootable USB from Armbian image . then Use the command "ddbr"  to make a backup file of the internal EMMC. 
The backup file will be in /ddbr of the USB device
when need to Restore that image file you just run the command "ddbr" then choose "r"
I think maybe it can also use on joggler to make share much easier

Great Idea.

I currently utilize Armbian on the Pine64 computer to run Home Assistant.

maybe you can have a try.
the only problem is the default backup folder is in the emmc. I think that space of joggler might not big enough.

Thinking about this and years ago before writing to my test Openpeak devices I would just boot up with a Ubuntu USB stick and do a DD of the emmc to the USB stick or something similiar.

I did most of this with Verizon (openpeak) telco Openpeak devices. Not sure if these images are posted here. Its been so long ago.

That said the base EFI bios (1 Mb) boot files are posted here. That is where I am using the Avaya boot bios EFI stuff.

That and most of my old Jogglers, Openpeak devices have eMMCs that are starting to fail so I do not utilize them anymore much. Rather use the small 16Gb SSD drives which are ZIF connected.

Here also using first generation Intel based micro with a 64Gb eMMC. It came with Windows 8-10 and I wiped that out and installed Linux on it years ago. Think that it is a BeeLink Intel Micro PC. Personally like using Intel CPUs over Arm based CPUs but that is me.
