Would this work or would I have problems:

Using dd command to backup an entire SSD containing dual boot Windows/Ubuntu partitions into an .iso file, with the intent to then dd that iso back onto the same size SSD in the case of a drive failure?

    Works fine, though it’s not an “iso” file. But it doesn’t matter what extension you use.

    I used to do this to switch an old laptop between Windows and Linux. I’d backup one, overwrite with the other. Swap as necessary.
