I thought it would be better to start with something "stable" as a
newbie and now burning already is in progress.

I backup the first 512 bytes:
dd if=/dev/sda of=MBR_sda-$BACKUP_NAME_ADD bs=512 count=1

So I should restore from byte 0 to byte 439 only if a restore should be
needed?

I assume that there's also a way to recover a broken partition table
with "BSD information" if needed and no backup should be available?

Ralf
