I recently got a compute module 4 (CM4) donated to add support for NVMe in raspiBackup (See here for details). I'm used to use a Raspberry but never used a CM4 before so I had to ramp up on CM4 first. The following page describes how I managed to get a RaspbianOS (Buster) up and running on the CM4 and to boot from NVMe.
My CM4 specs: 1GB main memory, 32GB eMMC and 128GB NVMe from Hynix, no WiFi and a Waveshare Mini Base Board A (CM4-IO-BASE-A).
Note: The SD card slot on the Base Board cannot be used given my CM4 has eMMC and disables the SD card slot.

Every Raspberry beginner starts with a NOOBS image, which is listed by raspberry.org first as the suggested image to use (See https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/)
NOOBS allows to start different operating systems which is useful when you want to evaluate the different alternatives to decide which is the right one for you. Unfortunately most of the people continue to use NOOBS when they have decided which OS to use. But that's the point to setup a new image with only one operating system.
Why?

Unfortunately, the raspiBackup documentation on this website had become increasingly disorganized over time. Fortunately, someone noticed this and offered to create a raspiBackup documentation page on GitHub using mdbook. He uploaded all existing raspiBackup pages from this website to GitHub, built a framework so the pages could be organized and easily edited—which was urgently needed—and finally ensured that any changes to the documentation are automatically republished. He even built in a DeepL integration so that the German documentation can be translated into English very quickly. Until then, I had always translated the German texts manually, which of course takes longer.
I don’t have the technical know-how to do this myself, and I’m extremely grateful to rpi-simonz for setting everything up for me, making the raspiBackup documentation clearer and much easier to maintain and edit.
In short: The complete raspiBackup documentation can now be found here. Questions about raspiBackup can be asked here, and please report any issues here on GitHub (GitHub registration is free ;-) ) There’s also a raspiBackup thread on the English RaspberryPi Forum where you can ask questions about raspiBackup.
In addition there exist social media channels for raspiBackup.
