In maintanance mode all partitions of device can be exported to external computer via USB so you can use tar to archive your Harmattan rootfs.
Thanks. But it seems to be quite complicated. I'm looking for a very easy method for restoring.

IMO, the easiest method would be:

"flasher -fF backup-file.bin" on a brand new N9.

If it is not possible to create such a "backup-file.bin", would the following
scenario be possible:

- get new N9
- enable SDK mode
- install rsync
- "rsync -a --delete backup-server:/N9-backup /" (or similar)

If yes, I would do the backup with rsync instead of dd.

TIA for any hints, Peter
