Has anyone successfully backed up the original config?

"dd if=/dev/<nook> of=nook_touch_backup.img bs=1M" ?
I think there must be some unmounting / remounting implied here that I missed. My Ubuntu netbook mapped things under /device, and I got lost after that.
*Ubuntu*
Once at that step (or after just booting off of the noogie sd card), open Disk Utility and find the Nook under Peripheral Devices, it'll have a lot of volumes on the right column, now look for the little section that says "Device: /dev/sd*"

if it says /dev/sdb like on mine, type on terminal:
Code:
sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=nook_touch_backup.img bs=1M
It should give you a 2 gb backup of the whole Nook, placing it in your home directory
