- You’ll need to install Git to download the files:
sudo apt-get install git
- Start by downloading and installing the script:
cd ~/Downloads
git clone https://github.com/billw2/rpi-clone.git
cd rpi-clonesudo
cp rpi-clone rpi-clone-setup /usr/local/sbin
- Then use fdisk to get the backup SD card name:
sudo fdisk -l
You should see the current SD card: sda or mmcblk0 most of the time.
- And below the backup SD card: sdb or mmcblk1 generally
- And finally, use rpi-clone:
sudo rpi-clone sdb -v
Replace sdb with your backup SD card name.
For my Pi:
sudo rpi-clone sda -v -F
To restore from backup:
- Insert backup SD card
- Reboot so that it boots from SD card
- Run:
sudo rip-clone mmcblk0 -v -F
