Indeed.

Here's the current state of our thoughts and research on this topic:

Thanks!

If I understood correctly, the data is copied to another, pre-existing
(and already unlocked & mounted) Tails Persistent Storage, i.e.
the scripts add a GUI on top of our current command line instructions:
https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/persistence/backup/

The good news is that this is entirely compatible with the design we
want to implement eventually (possibly next year).

To me this would be a good incremental improvement over our current
instructions.

@sajolida, what do you think?

I did not check how close the scripts are to somewhat we
could integrate.

Cheers!
