What's the best way to backup the actual sd card. I plan to store it on the cloud. I tried using Windisk 32 and it didn't work .

- lostlogin 6y agoI’ve used Pi Baker on the Mac. It kind of hurts that the image is the same size as the SD card when the card might be pretty much empty, but it does make recovery easier.
- offtop5 6y agoGreat suggestion. Actually I think rpi clone can clone down to a smaller sd card https://github.com/billw2/rpi-clone https://github.com/billw2/rpi-clone You could clone down to like a 4 gig SD card, and then back up that SD card.
- bombcar 6y agoWrite zeros to the empty space (many method available- make a big file of zeros or something and delete it) - then your image of the SD card should compress really well.
- sildur 6y agoYou can also use fallocate -d if you are in Linux.
