I¡¯m a bit late to this one, but I¡¯d boot from an external SSD. Should/could be faster, and certainly a long-term solution without worrying about the microSD card dying.
Here¡¯s an article that could help, there are plenty others:

Hi All. -- to my Linux gurus
My setup is a RPI4 running NR.? I also have a Windows 10 PC on the LAN.
What I would like to do is backup the entire RPI to the PC so that when I have a card failure on the Pi I could easily rebuild?it.
Would doing a full copy from root on down using WinSCP do it?? Or, are there better tools?
I want to do the backup remotely and on a schedule.? If I had to rebuild it, I would have to swap out the uSD card physically, but that part is ok.
(yes, I could pull the card and make an image but it would be too infrequent).
Or, does it make sense to do what we do on the Windows world? - backup all the data files
- On failure, rebuild the RPI from the latest build
- Reinstall the tools I need, like NR
- copy back the user files
thoughts?
