Something like:

dd if =/dev/your_emmc_partition of=emmc_backup.img

store the img somewhere ( but not in the same partition),
eventually emmc_backup.img caould also be compressed
to save space.

To restore

umount /dev/your_emmc_partition
dd if=emmc_backup.img of= /dev/your_emmc_partition

You need to be root to do this.
