This would also provide a copy of your SQLite database that you can copy over a corrupted one, when needed. (Having an image of your internal SD card would cover All of the programing.)

With that backup you can easily restore your device, removing any of the programs installed after you made the backup. The programs themselves are removed by just deleting their folders and .png files.
Thanks for that! I always wondered how to make a correct backup of the system. Do I see it right: An image of the internal SD card is just the complete copy of what is in the system? (As far as I remember, my device - N905 - has no internal SD card).

And, concerning the uSD card, there was a misunderstanding: I thought it was all mainly to provide me with an alternate reading system. To be true: I love all those Kobo Tweaks, the Extended driver of Joel Goguen etc. I would not easily switch to a different system.

But I'll try your proposal when at home. The intention is: Or, the crash reappears, even with books in a hidden folder - then it's more likely a physical problem, such as Peter T supposes, or not - then it's probably a Nickel issue. Right?
