Thank you. I will.

No no no. It wasn't your documentation. It was my assumption all the
way. One way to hack it would be to add the whole /home/amnesia to be
backed up. After all, if one has on self gpg keys, user accounts and so
on, might have some history as well.
Sure, some cache is a waste of time, so there probably is more work to
fine tune the action.

I was hoping for something already in, not on the ToDo.

Yea. I know the drill. Back in the days my language wasn't well
supported. Today it looks like a pain in the behind. I'd rather use
the US keyboard.

I see.

That one looks rather complicated. The first part is the same as for
any USB clone. Partition and copy the sqashfs image. But that would
open the posibility of having the persistent volume done in one go.

I'll try to do that. Today it happened once, too early for noticing
anything: it froze at the first screen, the one with the two yes/no.
Hard restart. And it worked like nothing has happened.

Cheers and thanks for spending all the time for locating the pointers.
