Creating boot microSD card from current instance
Posted: Thu Apr 19, 2018 4:20 pm
Hi All
So, I have been using the Pi 3B now for a few weeks and in this time I have installed quite a few programmes and scripts etc. if anything should happen to this card, I would need to reinstall Raspbian AND everything else I've installed since I started using the Pi - eeeek!
Is there a way I am able to create a boot disk from the microSD card I am using, so that if anything happens I have a backup card available.
Is it simply a matter of somehow cloning the microSD card I have to a spare?
Apologies if this is a typical noobie question
