Myron Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I want to clone my SBC's SD card onto another card, but I don't have a computer running Linux as the primary OS. Out of the Windows utilities out there which ones will take a exact image of the SD card and then write that exact same image to another card making it a perfect clone of the source? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteeMan Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 balenaEtcher is the recommended tool for making SD cards and it also has the capability to clone one. It is available for all platforms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myron Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 What I want to do is grab an image of the source SD card and then from the image write to one (or more) SD cards, but knowing that balenaEtcher is a plus. balenaEtcher only seems to allow a direct clone of a SD card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoD Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 win32diskimager It can create .img files from sd-cards and save where ever you want. It can write them to sd-cards. It is simple, lightweight and does what it needs to do. Just be careful with other USB devices connected. Always make sure you've got the correct drive names. Or else... I once formatted my USB hard drive from 1.5TB with all movies and music. Wasn't my happiest day. Tought me to use a NAS for it instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
