January 14, 20242 yr Hi, I have finally installed armbian in my amlogic. I want to make a backup of the emmc now that it is "just installed". So if next year or whatever, if i want to go to my first day after the installation, I could go quickly. What will be the best way to create a "rescure image usb" ? In case of a disaster, could I boot from usb or only from sd? Thanks
January 26, 20242 yr I did it this way. I booted from the SD and backed up the emmc with the armbian-ddbr command because I wanted to back up the factory Android image. This command creates a compressed file in the /ddb directory that you can move to another external USB stick for example. This file can only be used to restore the emmc.
February 19, 20242 yr Where can I find armbian-ddbr? I do have /usr/sbin/ddbr however, and maybe that should be used instead?
March 1, 20242 yr @Juan Rangel https://forum.armbian.com/topic/15027-backup-of-emmc-preferred-method/ I confirm the command is ddbr, I was using a custom script. the limitation is that the backup file you create can only be restored with a TV box that boots from an SD card with an Armbian image. you cannot use it in the case of bricking a TV box with the Amlogic USB Burning tool because it is NOT a valid image for that specific tool
