Tip of the Week: Create a Full Backup Image of an SD Card for a Raspberry Pi

• There are many ways to accomplish a full SD card backup image but we’re going to show you one of the easiest:
  • First take the SD card out of your Pi
  • Before you insert your SD card into your PC run the command:
    • df
    • or you can use sudo fdisk -l
  • This command will list out all your current drives.
  • Next insert the SD card from the Pi and run the ‘df’ command once more.
• Now you’ll be able to see the drive path assigned to the SD card ex: /dev/mmcblk01 and 02.
  • TIP: if you don’t see any changes interact with the drive in your file manager and then run the command again in the terminal
• Finally, run this command:
  • sudo dd bs=4M if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=MyPi.img
  • replacing the /dev/mmcblk0 with the path your PC assigned your SD card.
  • Note we didn’t designate the 1 or 2 on the end we just wrote the path up to the mmcblk0.
• That’s it. Now you’ve made a complete backup image of your SD card that you can restore to another SD card in case of corruption or loss.
