If you're using a Linux or Mac OS computer this page applies. If you're using Windows you can do this using the ''Windows Subsystem for Linux'' (WSL), an Ubuntu-as-an-application that can be installed — with some effort — on Windows 10.

This page describes how to clone an SD card to an "img" file. If you want to copy (clone) an SD card directly to another SD card (i.e., no backup file) the [BalenaEtcher|https://www.balena.io/etcher/] has a Clone feature that does just that. The upside to this is that cloning card-to-card is easier, faster, and more fool-proof. The downside is that you'll need the ability to mount two SD cards to your desktop computer, and you won't end up with a backup file. Backup files are good!
