Doing Full Backup of T68?

Hi all. I've just purchased a T68 Lynx from Onyx-BOOX.com. While I wait for delivery to Australia, I've been reading this forum and gathering lots of good information, thanks. I have a few questions which don't seem to be covered (yet!).

Is there a way to make a full backup of the T68, so that I can recover it as it was at the time? I know I can do a factory reset, and flash new firmware, but I'd like to be able to take snapshots of the system.

Edit: How can I move apps out to the external SD card? I'm happy to root the device.

I'm getting the Lynx version, but the forum articles suggest that Booxtor's version of the firmware is better. I saw the link to change the firmware from Lynx to Booxtor's UHDML firmware. The date of the Zip file is 2014. Is there a way to use the same technique to install a later version of Booxtor's firmware? Edit: post #7 in that thread seems to have the answer :-)

My main uses for the T68 will be as an e-book reader, as a bushwalking maps device with OruxMaps, and possibly as a remote ssh terminal client. Has anybody run OruxMaps on the T68 using an external GPS unit?

Has anybody used a Bluetooth keyboard with the T68? I saw forum posts about apps to put the display into landscape mode, and to hide the soft keyboard, so I'll try them out once I get the device.

Thanks in advance for all your advice and help.
