Backup from noob install - yebo - 2020-11-05

Hi all,

  I used to make backups of my Openplotter install on SDcard with Win32DiskImager. But I made my latest OP2 install using noob, and now 2 separate "cards" appear when I want to make a backup image: "Boot" & "RECOVERY".
Could someone please give me some advice for a clean backup ? Thx in advance Smile

I’ve been using this to make image backups of my working sd cards and ssd drives.
Win32diskimage no longer works on updated win10 OS.

I finally used the simple solution: SD Card adapter plugged into the RPI, and Menu > Accessories > SD Card Copier.

Lol. Yes there’s that to but I thought you wanted an image file?
Glad you figured it out. I leave a USB Sd card adapter plugged in just so I can make a backup when ever I am about to make changes so I have an easy way back to where I was. Then if it works I copy it again.
