Check if usb flash drive is mounted:
sudo fdisk -l
This will report the Raspberry Pi system disk /dev/mmcblk0 and flash drive /dev/sda:
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 64.4 GB, 64423460864 bytes
4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 1966048 cylinders, total 125827072 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000981cb
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/mmcblk0p1 8192 122879 57344 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/mmcblk0p2 122880 125827071 62852096 83 Linux
Disk /dev/sda: 8026 MB, 8026849280 bytes
247 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1023 cylinders, total 15677440 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xb3c5e39a
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 8192 131071 61440 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sda2 131072 3276799 1572864 83 Linux
So we need to know 3 thigs:SD card destination which is
/dev/sdaThe Units size which is
512The end sector of second partition which is
3276799Now we create magical command:
sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/home/pi/backup.img bs=512 count=3276799
And 10 minutes later output will be something like this:
3276799+0 records in
3276799+0 records out
1677721088 bytes (1.7 GB) copied, 569.322 s, 2.9 MB/s
And this is how we backup Raspbian operating system like a Pro :)
