Technicavolous Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Well, first I usually resize the partition with something like gparted before writing an image in that way. Then zip the results. If you use dd you can pipe it through something like bz or p7zip and do it in one run. Clonezilla is a great way to backup sd and even eMMC sometimes. You can just clone the data and not the entire disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
