Extra attention is needed
I know a full backup of all partitions can be made with MTKClient using
mtk rl <dir>
. This took about an hour for me, reading the 128 GB at ~35 MB/s (note that writing to your disk must be faster than this, or you'll run out of RAM and the process will probably be OOMKilled - as happened to me originally when trying to back up to a remote server on a 5 MB/s uplink). Afterwards, I gzip'd the massive mostly-emptyuserdata
partition, which took it down from 112 GB to 36 GB.I haven't tried restoring yet - that might actually simply be a matter of
mtk wl <dir>
.Edit: Issue for speed problem: bkerler/mtkclient#710
