Full Backup of the Recovery slot

[NotLikeSomeone]

I had to reflash the box three or more times from scratch because, for some reasons, also the Recovery Image got corrupted and it was not possible to boot not even by the RECOVERY_IMAGE pendrive.
This caused, of course, loosing the who multiboot structure.
This means the need of reflashing the box, choosing of multiboot install, long wait for the new reboot and preparation of multiboot itself and then setting again the network, password and all the indispensable things for the Recovery image.
Only at that point I can reflash the slots from the FullBackups...

I was wondering if rebooting in the Recovery image and performing a FullBackup from the GUI, would produce a backup that, in case you have again a corrupt image, put in the condition of reflashing the box having at least the basic settings and also the multiboot structure (of course, with empty slots but ready to be reflashed by the image itself).
Would it be so? It seems too easy to be working...

Care to explain how you ended up in such a dilemma? I hate to see anyone have that much trouble. What receiver were you using?

Actually, the last time it happened some months ago: so, I can't remember what had happened immediately before. But, I was thinking back to the situation in itself, trying to find a way not to go again through all the troubles and the steps needed to restore everything, recovery image and slots.
I use, mainly, an Ultimo4K.
It would be so useful if the image offered a sort of "SUPER FullBackup", meaning a GUI command or a script to prepare a TOTAL backup (to be put in a pendrive) with everything a user has got at the moment: multiboot structure AND slots.

Alternatively, at least, it'd be already a lot time saving, if we had a way of saving the multiboot structure and the RECOVERY image: this would allow the users to flash this scenario and afterwards they would be able to restore previous slots by usual Full Backups.
