You will want to backup the Guix configuration files and your data. So probably this means you should copy /etc/config.scm and the files in your home directory. You could plug in an ext4-formatted external disk and copy the files with the =E2=80=9Ccp -a=E2=80=9D command. Or learn to use a complicated ba= ckup tool like borg, which other pages on the web explain better than I can. However, note that installing Guix on the same disk as another operating system will only be easy if you are using grub-efi-bootloader and if your computer has an OS selection tool built in or if you have installed something like rEFInd.
