rpi-clone is a standalone shell script for cloning a running Raspberry Pi's booted disk (SD card or USB) to a bootable destination disk. It supports both full initialization clones and fast incremental syncs of matching partitions.
Use cases
- clone a running raspberry pi sd card to a new sd card
- back up a booted raspberry pi to a usb drive
- incrementally sync changes from a pi disk to a backup disk
- migrate a raspberry pi installation to a larger sd card
- make a bootable copy of a live raspberry pi system
When to choose
- you need to clone or back up a live Raspberry Pi disk without shutting it down
- you want incremental backups that only copy changed files after the first clone
- you want automatic partitioning of the destination disk
When to avoid
- you need officially supported cloning on non-Raspberry-Pi Debian desktops or other OSes
- you need a GUI disk imaging tool
- you are not running a Debian-based system with apt-get for dependency installation
