Code:

dd if=/dev/mmbclk0 of=/media/usb/backup.img

Now you backup to your mounted usb drive.

Nice one! Running one as we speak.. Is it as easy as running this to automate it using cron as root??

Code:

service xmbc stop
dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/home/xbian/NASBackup/Xbian.img
service xbmc start

I'm not that great of a scripter
