App needed to make iso copy of installed Q40s on laptop hardrive

Good Day ,

I am looking for a app that I can use to make a iso copy of the installed Q4os on laptop hard drive.

Can you please recommend such a app as I cant find anything -using Google.

Your help and guidance will be much appreciated.

It is a mission of having to download and install everything if the  OS goes south.

Thanx in advance.

You'll find a number of discussions on this topic in the forum.
Probably the best tools was Systemback - sadly no longer supported it doesn't mean it doesn't work - and with a slight bit of additional work will give you what you want - Q4OS uses a non standard folder in / which SB misses.
Clonezilla is the de-facto image backup tool.
An external hard drive and a dd command will do

May I suggest you widen your search - 'backup iso image of linux system' will yield a number of helpful results.
