raspiBackup allows to create backups of a running Raspberry. No shutdown and manual intervention is required. Instead important services have to be stopped just before starting the backup and when the backup has finished they have to be started again. Any device which can be mounted on Linux can store the backup (USB disk, USB stick, nfs, samba, sshfs, ...). The common Linux backup tools dd, tar and rsync using hardlinks can be used to create the backup. Backups can be restored on any SD card. An external rootpartition will be included in the backup. NOOBS images are supported.
