Any tool to view or backup Synology partition hdd from pc / tinycore redpill?

A standard Btrfs volume, i.e. not the proprietary SHR, can easily be read and written using Windows drivers. These two drivers has to be installed.

Linux filesystem Btrfs:

Linux MD software RAID devices:

Linux "ddrescue" can be used for backup and restore of the DSM system partition.

It becomes available with the "SynoCli Disk Tools" package on DSM:
https://synocommunity.com/package/synocli-disk

For example, the associated command with root in the SSH terminal or as a scheduled task would be:
ddrescue /dev/md0 /volume1/GeneralPurposeShareName/Systempartition.img

A “ddrescue” installed on the Tiny Core Linux (TCL), may be tinycore redpill (TCRP), can then be used to restore the image.
