      Does recalbox have a built-in application to create a complete backup and the possibility to change the size of the share partition afterwards?
      Thanks in advance.

          @Ratte what do you mean "a complete backup" ? The only complete backup that is worth is the share one. And in such case, I could say that there is one way. But you only backup, you don't restore lol Restoring would have to be made manually

            I miss some "service" menu entries ... fs2chk could be a usefull example.
            Or partition resizing / backup.

              @Ratte such tools shouldn't have an IHM.
              Using fsck should eventually happen in an automatic way when there are no possible risks. Otherwise, too risly to have a GUI for that.
              Partition resizing / backup : no partition resizing, recalbox is not GParted. And partitoin resizing is something that works very bad depending on the FS of the concerned partition.

              Partition backup : the only one that is worth is the share partition. https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Use-an-external-usb-storage-device-on-recalbox-(EN)#optional--sync-your-usb-key-with-your-sd is more than enough, despite we could eventually add this in a menu, I agree. But that's not the main concern for now.
