What would be a good pathway to contributing to the kernel as a person who is studying C?
Maybe you're interested in such learning projects: Linux Kernel (Module) Sandbox Should you happen to start your own, please let me know :-)

System snapshot tools for ext4
https://github.com/datto/dattobd is still a thing, apparently. Needs its own kernel module, so have fun with that.

Are they any tools to backup a *mounted* disk volume to an image?
There's https://github.com/datto/dattobd Never used it though.

BEST Way to backup a Raspberry Pi?
(Or if you're really crazy, and want image based incremental backups then this exists https://github.com/datto/dattobd).

Imaging mounted disk volumes under duress
The dattobd [1] block device driver fills this gap. It basically implements VSS like behavior on Linux. It is used in the Datto Linux backup agent in combination with the backup appliance [2], but it can be used stand alone as well (see readme).
Disclaimer: I'm a software engineer for Datto.

ActiveBackup for Linux
It connects but fails to back up a remote Linux server. Then I read from somewhere saying it works only in LAN. I ends up using https://github.com/datto/dattobd and rsync.

Math-heavy software development jobs? I like math.
In my last job I worked on writing backup agents in C++ for multiple platforms using userspace API's. There was a team that exclusively worked on the Linux driver that our agent used, the driver is open source too - https://github.com/datto/dattobd
