Hi,

I want to make a backup of the SD-card with the linux image. I tried it with Win32 Disk Imager (like on the raspberryPi: https://thepihut.com/blogs/raspberry-pi-tutorials/17789160-backing-up-and-restoring-your-raspberry-pis-sd-card). Windows detects the SD-card, but it is not accessible in the file manager. There is no drive letter assigned :(

How can I save the image?

thanks in advance

regards, Lukas

    Hi,

    we have the same issue lately. You can use some kind of virtual machine (e.g. the ubuntu vm you might have for building the software) and mount the SD-card in there or you can check out another windows program like DiskInternals Linux Reader (there is a free version, but just backups are possible with it).

    My wild guess is that it might be some windows problem if you have it too but I'm no specialist in that.

    Cheers

    Hi @Lukas Brückner​ ,

    you saved my day :)

    I made a backup of the image with DiskInternals Linux Reader. To flash the image to a new SD-card I used Win32 Disk Imager. Works great!:flexed_biceps:
