Hello,
1. Restart to another system from external disk or flash.
2. Shrink your installed system as much as you can with Gparted. If you
have one partition, it will be easier. If you have two partitions, you
must shrink them all (system and data). If the system is on the extended
partition, this tutorial will don't work.
3. In Terminal cd to the folder where you want to have your backup of
system and write:
sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=file.iso
4. Wait for finish the work. It would be slow. It depends on disk speed
and system size.
5. After finishing the work, erase disk again and restart to your system.
Success!
Tried on Ubuntu Mate or Debian or Vinux. My friend found this way to
backup systems and it works many years for us. Be careful, you have to
control, what is your system what you want to backup if it's SDA1 or
SDB1 or what.
Take care.
Best regards
Vojta.

Hello folks,
I have been playing with linux for almost two weeks by now. It seems
that I have settled on slint. I installed it on a 128 GB SD disk and I
find it very fast and responsive. I have begun to use it for my email
and internet browsing on daily bases. I have not used it for word
processing yet, but it looks that the system can be used quite
efficiently with the Libre office.
Now I need to figure out how to format disks and make backup copies of
my work.
I went through all the GUI menus and could not find any utility for
formatting USB drives or SD disks, as a first step for backup of my
work. Is this task undoable in the GUI environment and I have to look
for the use of terminal for formatting disks?
Cheers,
Ibrahim
