Hi everyone,
I need to create a mirror of my neo z83-4u drive so in case of a problem I can reinstall it and go back to the same point as the last mirror.
I had read a lot of tutorial using dd and clonezilla, but for one reason or another, I've been facing problems, clonezilla usb drive do not boot even changing boot sequence at bios (usb hard drive/usb cd-dvd), dd needs to unmount the drive.
If someone can point me in the right direction I'll really appreciate.
 
Download the latest MINIX Ubuntu ISO for the Z83-4U and copy it to a USB using 'dd'. Then boot from this 'LiveUSB' and 'umount' all the partitions for the eMMC. Then insert your storage media where you want to save you 'mirror' to and 'dd' the eMMC drive to it. As this will be creating a 64GB file (i.e. the size of your eMMC) you might want to consider a compression program such as 'gzip' or 'bzip2'. Alternatively if you prefer a GUI then use 'Disks' (gnome-disks) again from the 'LiveUSB'. For more information see this as a starting point.
