Hi,

I will pick up my Kindle Touch tonight. I am an experienced Linux user and wish to do some hacking with it.
However, I would like to back up its partitions before doing any manipulation. I read the various thread and the wiki (https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind...Hacking#Backup). Is the jailbreaking required to backup the 4 partitions? Or is it possible to do this on an unmodified K5?

Thanks in advance.
