Question Backup and restore pixel 6?

[enigma2446]

Seeing there is no TWRP for the pixel 6 yet, was wondering if there was a way to backup my current stock rooted rom for I can flash other roms? Then flash back of I don't like it.

An easy method of restoring to stock if you don't like a custom ROM is to use Google's recovery tool. Or you can use ADB as it has commands for backing up and - I think - restoring.

Flar2's AppDash works great if you have root for backing up apps and app data.
As for ROM, I haven't tried this yet, but seems quite promising:

same here I may give it a go.
May need to try another terminal.. IIRC Termux can run into issues.
It seems like in terminal:
-d all
should backup all

Yes but I'm not sure about the backup output directory ...pixel is /storage/emulated/0/

I get this output with nothing saved due to read only file system
