Back up image

[Brucey89]

Can you use usb that you use for timeshifting to back up to or do i need to use another one. Also do i back up settings as well as image.

yes you can use the same usb as long as there's space. its advisable to backup the settings so when you flash a new image you can use those settings to restore. I tend to copy off a full image backup to a separate usb in case it all goes a bit tits up !!

I tend backup settings and then backup image, using network browser on computer I tend then to drag the backup image over to computer and just leave the settings backup on the USB stick.

Just create a .txt file called backup.txt (or what you want) add this to the usb, then make the image copy.
