I would like to create a backup of the system and all files of my Jetson AGX Orin Dev Kit 32GB (Jetpack 6.1). If I were to use sudo ./tools/backup_restore/l4t_backup_restore.sh -b cti/// to create a backup image, would I be able to put the backup image to a MicroSD card for flashing later? The backup image would be used to flash the same Jetson AGX Orin if an update or something causes problems.
Hi alpuMUUU:
If you are going to backup and restore on the same system, l4t_backup_restore.sh should do the trick. You can:
sudo ./tools/backup_restore/l4t_backup_restore.sh -b ......to create imagesudo ./tools/backup_restore/l4t_backup_restore.sh -r .....to restore the image you created in point 1.

Would I be able to move the store the image on a removable storage device to be used later?
Additionally, according to https://support.connecttech.com/hc/en-us/articles/33142872284315-Jetson-Cloning-using-L4T-Backup-and-Restore, sudo ./tools/backup_restore/l4t_backup_restore.sh -b cti/module/board/profile command needs the module, board, and profile. Is this information found when the Jetson is put in recovery mode?
Hi:
You can’t backup image from EMMC and restore it into SD card directly.
Yes. So that you can just sudo ./tools/backup_restore/l4t_backup_restore.sh -b mmcblk0 -e jetson-agx-orin-devkit to backup emmc block.
I am getting problems with the command and had to swap the -b and -e. Additionally, I am receiving errors about having to install Secureboot and an invalid target board.
Hi:
Please run the script in the Linux_for_Tegra folder.
cd Linux_for_Tegra/
sudo ./tools/backup_restore/l4t_backup_restore.sh -e mmcblk0p1 -b jetson-agx-orin-devkit
So, I do not need the Secureboot package to use the l4t_backup_restore.sh script?
Did you enable any type of security?
If no, then no. Normal system can be backup and restore directly with the script.
I do not believe I enabled any security. The Jetson AGX Orin Devkit should have default settings from flashing Jetpack 6.1.
I seem to still be getting an invalid target board error when I run the l4t_backup_restore.sh script.
Hi:
You are now running the script in backup_restore folder, and it will lead to errors.
cd to Linux_for_Tegra instead of Linux_for_Tegra/tools/backup_restore and run the script.
Running the script in the Linux_for_Tegra folder gets pas the invalid target board error, but the script doesn’t seem to be finishing due to many errors.

Please setup rootfs before you run the script: Ref
