Backing up MorphOS?

[Fingers]

I'm looking for an easy way to back up my MorphOS installation/settings incase of HDD failure.

The following procedures (yet to be tested by myself) are loosely based on the way I back up my real Amigas & I'd like to know if you guys think it would work for MorphOS:

Efika version;
1: Save all files from MorphOS partition to folder on an external device (USB drive, HDD, whatever).
2: When back up files are needed for new/reformatted HDD go to step "3".
3: Place folder containing these files onto USB drive along with install.img.
4: Run install.img & then after formatting HDD, dump these files out of folder & onto the MorphOS partition.
(possible need to run full install & then dump/replace files to MorphOS partition under the install.img environment due to hidden boot partition requirement?)

Mac Mini version;
1: As per Efika version above.
2: When back up files are needed for new/reformatted HDD go to step "3".
3: Place folder containing these files onto USB drive or similar.
4: Run install CD & then after formatting HDD, dump these files out of folder & onto the MorphOS partition.
(possible need to run full install & then dump/replace files to MorphOS partition under the CD installer environment for reasons as stated in Efika version above?)

Please advise & thanks heaps

Just to try clarify what I mean here.
If memory serves me correctly, there is a really small (unseen when loaded) partition created when installing that makes MorphOS boot (maybe it points at the boot.img file on the main partition?).
Obviously, if using a new HDD, this partition would not exist.
So, you'd need to run a full install to create it & install the required files.
BUT, then replace all created files on the "MorphOS" partition with back up files, hopefully resulting in a "clone" of old settings, etc.

Am I correct?

You could always create the partion yourself and just copy the boot.img ?

Yeah, but I'm too dumb to even know what to put where in that case...in fact I'm only guessing at what I think you are saying...really!
