I fear I'm not sure what this means. Does it mean that we can use the new GUI to create backups of already cloned SD's? If so, YAY!!! If not, can you add this functionality? I assume one would boot into flash and use install-tools gui from there. It could then create a backup of your bootable sd, or allow you to flash previous backup of sd to card. There was a discussion going on here about how to do this using a linux box. And some of us already bought acronis true image to do this on windows. But you would provide so much benefit (as if we need more from you, I know!) if you created a gui that could do this with a few taps on the tablet's own screen.

Of course, I might be way out in left field. Maybe this is not even possible to do on-tablet.

In any case, eagerly awaiting the new gui!
