   - Backup the partitions according to your partition table. For the standard configuration this would be:<code>
-$ nvflash -r --read 2 part02.img
+$ for i in $(seq -w 2 14); do nvflash -r --read $i part$i.img; done
-$ nvflash -r --read 3 part03.img
-$ nvflash -r --read 4 part04.img
-$ nvflash -r --read 5 part05.img
-$ nvflash -r --read 6 part06.img
-$ nvflash -r --read 7 part07.img
-$ nvflash -r --read 8 part08.img
-$ nvflash -r --read 9 part09.img
-$ nvflash -r --read 10 part10.img
-$ nvflash -r --read 11 part11.img
-$ nvflash -r --read 12 part12.img
-$ nvflash -r --read 13 part13.img
 </code> **Note:** There is no partition 1 and the backups have the full size of the real partitions (make sure you have enough disk space).
   - Create the BCT file from your part02 image: <code>
 dd if=part02.img of=ac100.bct bs=4080 count=1
 </code> You will need this later in case you need to do a full restore of your AC100.
+  - Optional: tar and gzip the image files, **deleting the original image files**<code>$ for i in $(seq -w 2 14); do tar cfvz part$i.tar.gz part$i.img; rm part$i.img; done</code>
   - Create the cfg file. This file is derived from the partitiontable.txt file. You can download this little script http://share.grandou.net/ac100/linux-on-ac100/parttable_to_cfg to do the conversion automatically: <code>
 $ dos2unix partitiontable.txt
