... restore all configuration files, please let me know. Thanks and best regards to all, Carlos. Raspberry pi3, 4 ubuntu boxes for engineering work. PiClone (included in Raspbian Jessie with Pixel) can make a 'clone' to a SD Card in a USB Card Reader of a 'live' system: https://github.com/raspberrypi-ui/piclone/blob/master/README

... i.e. you can now mount the entire dd image of your card: losetup --show -f -P myimage.img PiClone which may be of interest as it backs up to a SD Card: https://github.com/raspberrypi-ui/piclone/blob/master/README

Use the GUI PiClone program which will copy an SDCard to a bootable copy (in a USB reader).

The main changes are 1) hostname 2) fixed IP address (if used).

Thanks Mike,

I corrected the name of the tool.
The link you provided looks to be what I needed

picopy ("piclone") isn't the same as dd dd is a direct byte for byte copy - so resulting .img would be huge, and also can't copy to smaller sd cards piclone first sets up partitons, then does a file based copy - so can move a ...

Hi, My query in short: Is there a command line version of piclone? (see: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/another-update-raspbian/ scroll down to SD card copier ) I have a 'headless' PI running Jessie Lite, so I can't run piclone from the UI. Via SSH ...

... grab a USB SDCard reader. First run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade on your RPi3B. Make sure it boots ok after that. Then use the PiClone program on your RPi3B to write a new SDCard for your RPi2B. If that doesn't boot on your RPi2B you probably have a faulty RPi2B.

... to the above suggestions it may be worth trying Raspbian's own "cloning tool" (SD card copier under the Accessories menu, otherwise known as piclone ) to either write cloned copies to a USB card reader/writer plugged into the Pi or (probably to a USB stick) write an image file to be saved ...

Since we don't know what you're trying it is next to impossible to tell you what's wrong as most of our crystal balls went offline in the "Great Crystal Ball Disaster" of 1989.

The Raspbian GUI has a "piclone" program that should do what you want.

The easiest method is to use the SD Card copier included in the full Raspbian install (for raspbian-lite you need to install piclone). With a USB SD card adaptor it will let you copy the contents of your current SD card to another card and resize it to fit (as long as there is enough ...

Get a USB SDCard reader and use your Raspberry Pi booted from the class 4 card to run piclone to clone the working card to your broken class 10 card. Honestly, that was the first thing I did... was clone the original SD and then restored it to this new SD... no go! ...

Get a USB SDCard reader and use your Raspberry Pi booted from the class 4 card to run piclone to clone the working card to your broken class 10 card.

... help me get this card booted on the Zero W? Many thanks! win32diskimager makes an exact byte size image, so you need exactly the same size card. PiClone can back to an SD Card in a USB Card Reader on the RPi itself, it is included with Raspbian Jessie with Pixel Desktop: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/introducing-pixel

... is stored in the Pi -- there is nowhere to put it that survives a power cycle. Just clone the working card back to the damaged one, using PiClone or your favourite SDCard reader/writer. It is possible that the SDCard is damaged, it may or may not be recoverable. It's too late at night ...
