Hello, i would like please to help me on how to full backup my Nexus 5 device in case i want to get back to Android if i cant go on with linux..... Is there any guide or something please?
Thanks in advance!

There isn't an official guide, but you would want to do something like this:
-
Backup everything with TWRP.
-
Export the Backup to somewhere outside of the device.
-
Test to make sure that the backup can be re-imported and reflashed via new TWRP install.
-
Install Ubuntu Touch. It will likely need to wipe even the recovery portion (so you lose everything on the device). Enjoy.
-
If you have to go back then you will have to re flash TWRP, and import the backup from your computer.

@joe Plus, if you want an updates after that, you need to flash the Ubports recovery right after you restore the backup.
-
@joe I think this method https://forums.ubports.com/post/12526 is more straightforward and it doesn't need TWRP
-
OK, guys i tried a lot of hours to play with these ideas but the only thing i was able to do is to semi brick the phone because TWRP didnt work as expected and took me some hours to take it back in normal....
So a faster question should be, is there a way to turn my phone back to android if i had installed ubuntu touch? (backup was a totally failure)

@axenias Flohack's method is easier, you don't need to play with twrp.
If you want to install Android, there's no problem, it would be a normal installation.
