hey linux friends:
i have to do a hardware repair on my laptop and would like to do a backup in case something goes wrong. i have an external hard drive, but i've never done a full system backup before.
i run lubuntu 24.04 and if possible, would like to take a snapshot of the current file system (apologies if this isn't the correct terminology).
do you have any recommendations for how i should do this?
thanks!
