[Trisquel-users] Re : Creating a backup with "dd if" please help!.

You can choose to backup any folder, including /etc that contains the system  
configuration. Just specify it in "Folders to save" in "Backups" in the  
"System settings".

I do not see much point to back up the system, only the list of packages you  
installed. See

That said, if you tell Déjà-Dup to backup the root folder, I guess it will.
