This page describes using the "dd" command on Linux to create an exact copy of an SD card, storing it in a disk image ("img") file, then restoring from a disk image file. It also describes using the __BalenaEtcher__ program to clone SD cards, and __pishrink__ to shrink the size of disk image files. An even easier method of creating an image of an SD card is described below, namely using the "shrink" application, which both copies the SD card and shrinks its stored size smaller than the full size of the SD card.
