SD CARD IMAGE
It may be sensible for you to keep a copy of the entire SD card image, so you can restore the card if you lose it or it becomes corrupt. You can do this using the same method you'd use to write an image to a new card, but in reverse.
In Linux or on a Mac, for example:
sudo dd bs=4M if=/dev/sdb of=raspbian.img
This will create an image file on your PC which you can use to write to another SD card, and keep exactly the same contents and settings. To restore or clone to another card, use dd
in reverse:
sudo dd bs=4M if=raspbian.img of=/dev/sdb
These files can be very large, and compress well. To compress, you can pipe the output of dd
to gzip
to get a compressed file that is significantly smaller than the original size:
sudo dd bs=4M if=/dev/sdb | gzip > rasbian.img.gz
To restore, pipe the output of gunzip
to dd
:
gunzip --stdout rasbian.img.gz | sudo dd bs=4M of=/dev/sdb
