StillReading · 12-11-2015, 04:32 AM

I've just read about the new firmware release and would like to try the new version, but also be able to go back to the current state of my device.

Is it possible to create a "full backup" of a Kobo Aura H2O by using tools like dd (Linux/Cygwin) or Win32DiskImager (Windows), and restoring the Kobo to the exact state it was in before the firmware update with these backups/images?

EDIT: should have added- "without taking out the internal SD-card (if that's at all possible on the H2O)". In the meantime I've found some threads mentioning imaging, but I'd like to verify that the backup/restore actually works in practice, on my device.
