newbies should be careful - don't mess w/your nook unless you're confident in your command-line skills

that said,

1. create a noogie.img microsd

2. boot your nook w/the card

3. on your Linux-OS computer:

dd if=/dev/<your nook's device> of=nook_touch_backup.img bs=1M

4. to restore, again boot w/your noogie microsd, then:

dd if=nook_touch_backup.img of=/dev/<your nook's device> bs=1M

(/dev/XXX usually takes the form of /dev/sdc or /dev/sdb, etc.)

hth

there are other incantations for OS X or utilities for Winblows, YMMV
