So what is the best way to clone a disk(or in my case a raspberry pi sd cars)?
I tried to backup one of my cards last week using dd > .iso file and then tried to put it on a new card. I tried with /dev/Rdisk (faster) but none of the new cards was bootable.
So this is saying just use copy.
(I ended up just creating a second boot disk, and ftping the files over which seems less than ideal...)
- koala_man 10y agoThe article doesn't say to stop using `dd` to write disks. It's just saying that if you have other commands that can read/write files, such as `pv /dev/thing > file.img` (to show a progress bar), you don't have to try to shoe-horn dd into it just because /dev/thing happens to be a drive.
