Create Live pendrive of working installation

Is there any way to create a live pendrive snapshot of a fully working q4os installation?

This will be very useful in case of a crash whereby the live snapshot on the pendrive can be easily restored alonv with all the settings painfully done and also all the softwares installed many of which may  have been downloaded.

It will save a lot of time to get the system back up and running to its state.

The software solution that I use is 'Aptik'.

You can also try Ventoy.

Yes, you can install MX tools for Q4OS, see https://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3477 and create a snapshot iso using the tools. Please keep in mind MX tools for Q4OS are experimental at the moment, so the tools may not work as expected in all cases.
