Yes see the stickied thread, http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...m-manager-nandroid-backup-custom-kernels.html
To make a backup (abbreviated instructions):
-Make sure a clean sdcard with enough space is inserted
-In rom manager flash clockworkmod recovery
-After it says "success", select boot into recovery
-Select Backup
-Once backup is done, and in main menu select "reboot system now"

Welcome! And if you can't get the videos worked out, start a new thread in the Technical subforum asking about it and describe the issue. I'm sure someone here can help you figure it out!

Rico - I just realized I never introduced myself and posted a screenshot!
Hi, my name is Dave, I go by Face or Faceman online as a reference from my roleplaying days. So yes, I have been geek for awhile. I have a Nook Color, and I am addicted to rooting.
Here's my current screenshot:

<twisting toe in the dirt...> I'm so sorry... <blinks>
Hi,
I've been lurking around the forum for a while and seeing how helpful and nice you all are made me feel safe enough to register and ask for help!
My husband gave me the nook color for christmas (I love reading!) and am just learning about rooting and how much stuff I can actually do with my NC by 'rooting' it. I am however completely new at this and not very tech savvy. Is this accomplishable by someone with no technical experience?
thanks,
Laura

Hi Laura, it is indeed a task that can be accomplished with out technical experience. Just follow the threads on the borad that describe how to root watch the youtube videos and ask if you have any questions. Somebody here will let you know if you have missed anything. Essentially it is as easy as updating your Nook following B&Ns procedure, downloading and autonooter file, copying that image to a micro SD card and then placing that card into your Nook and booting it up. Once that is done simply remove the card and boot up one more time.

Welcome Laura.
Rooting the NC is relatively easy for anyone, who is knowledgeable about tech stuff or not. You only need to have the right equipment, such as micro SD card of any size, the knowledge to install a small image writing programs to your pc and are able to follow some instructions.
The main thing a potential NC owner that is going to root their device, is the NC is pretty hard to break software wise and just about everything you can do to the NC can be reversed. Also the biggest mistake I see new rooters make is too work too fast, not read all the instructions before performing a procedure and then not asking for help before attempting fixes to their NC.
Here are a few of our great informative threads here in the Nook section to get you started:
http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...ful-links-rooting-information-read-first.html
http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...-color-awesome-rooting-ocing-custom-roms.html
We also have plenty of great threads to get you out of trouble if needed as well.
Again, and I can't stress this enough, there are no unimportant or dumb questions so feel free to ask here in the Nook section and one of us here will happily help you out.
