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?

Is there an easy way to create a very minimal linux that runs out of memory or that would live in a very small partition, that would be capable mainly of dd ing the working partition to a file on a USB?
OH - what about one of the many bootable install ISOs and Ventoy?
