I am supposing this will not work - simply using dd to copy the booted disk /dev/sda for example to a file on an external hard drive. This would not be a good back as too many system file would be missed. right?

    it would just be like booting after a power failure.

    That level of confidence is EXACTLY what I want when I’m restoring a backup.
