Are there any tools and/or tutorials yet on backing up the NAND in recovery mode? I want to make that the first thing I do on a new system.

Nope. Not yet. But I can see them coming even from SciresM him self in the future
For Now, you have to create payload that can do it

Wouldn't that be possible to access eMMC from Linux running on switch and create dump of eMMC easily ? (considering we will get keyboard working under switch)
I'm currently looking at possibilities.
I would assume you could at least do a basic image of the eMMC from Linux using dd, that doesn't require being able to mount any of the partitions.
Hence we know all the keys and got tools we can extract and decrypt partitions from raw dump. Am I wrong ? ;-)

It should be detected as standard block device under linux without any special drivers...
Not sure if the dump is the whole internal NAND not just the SYSNAND so if that's the case it would be the whole 32GB
The NAND itself is 32GB. As it's likely it's encrypted without privileged access to the HorizonOS we're going to get only raw NAND dump which is 32GB. The HOS partition might be 2.7 GB but there is no was to get it without proper dumper payload - yet.
Lucky you then. I can't. I'm on 3.0.1. Unless you give me the payload to execute the pegaswitch from FG vector I'm only able to dump whole NAND via Linux and decrypt/get individual partitions that way.

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

@rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.+1 -
. Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them.
