Nexus 7 Newb would like feedback on plan for setting up my device

[C5Longhorn]

I recently picked up a Nexus 7, unlocked it, and loaded KitKat yesterday with the factory image. I have set the device up now and would like to use a custom backup to take an image of the 7 and then store that image off of the device on an external drive since I only have a 16gb 7.

I have downloaded Clockworkmod ROM Manager to do this. Is it easily feasible to make a stock image and then transfer the image to an external drive? I'm having an issue installing the Clockworkmod Recovery tool, but I posted a question about that in a different forum.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rick

I haven't done it but It looks like once you back up your rom you hit download backups and then enter the ip address it gives you on to your computer. I assume you would have to have both devices on the same wifi.
