What do you want to backup? root-partition of live-cd?! On hd-installation unionfs isn't enabled by default so you don't have to care about it.

hmm, interesting. yep, I want to backup my root-partition, which is /dev/sda5. But looking at the mount/df output, I didn't see /dev/sda5 mounted as other normal partitions:

$ mount rootfs on / type rootfs (rw) /dev/root on / type ext3 (rw,noatime,data=ordered)

So I thought it is because of unionfs.

Mika, could you explain me a little bit about it? E.g.,

- how root-partition is not mounted - why root-partition is not mounted as other normal partitions - why there are two filesystems mounted at / - etc.

thanks
