Hi guys,

I've seen that there is a way to backup the Kobo's firmware on an SD card without opening it with a little script.

1- Who has tested on a Glo?

2- Who can give us a little tutorial to do it and the script used?

3- Does it backup all the internal memory (I wanna say firmware + books + parameters) like a image file of the partition or does it just save the firmware?

4- Another way should be to do something like this with a linux to backup the entire main memory in an image file called backup.bz2 for example :

CAUTION : not tested !

#command to make backup of the kobo's internal memory
#in this example case the kobo memory appears as "/dev/sdb1"
dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/tmp/kobo-original-sd.img

#restore backup image of the kobo's internal memory
#in this example case the kobo's internal memory appears as "/dev/sdb1"
dd if=/tmp/kobo-original-sd.img of=/dev/sdb1

What do you think about this last solution? after recovery, the kobo should be able to boot, isn't it?
