Uwu Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Hello everyone, I have two S905x3 boxes happily running Balbes150 20.08 Armbian build. I am trying to figure out how to make a working backup of the eMMC. Normally in a situation like this I would use Clonezilla, but that doesn't boot on these arm64 boxes. Should I make a bootable USB with one of Balbes150 images and use "dd" on /dev/mmcblk2 to an image file? Would I be able to then restore that image file with "dd" to another S905x3 box and have it boot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin_from_Mars Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Yes, you can make a bootable USB with an Armbian image . Use "ddbr" then “b” to make a backup of the internal EMMC. The backup file will be in /ddbr of the USB device. Restore that image file with "ddbr" then "r" to another device with same hardwares. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
