Cloning SD Card?
DIR By: WB2UZR

Hi all:
I am trying to make a clone of my SD card using the instructions
in the file from the Facebook group.
step 11 reads: type in sudo rpi-clone sda when I do that it
returns "command not found"
Any thoughts?

Hi Scott,
I'm not on Facebook so I'm not familiar with the instructions
you're referring to from there. But based on that "command not
found" that you reported, I'm guessing that the rpi-clone
utility isn't installed or is somehow corrupted.
I'd suggest that you refer to these instructions to
install/reinstall the rpi-clone utility:

DIRECTIONS:
1.PUT FORMATTED SD CARD IN SD CARD READER/WRITER

YOUR 2.4 or 3.5 TGIF HOT SPOT.
DO NOT USE THE TOP OUTSIDE PORT AS THAT IS USED INTERNALLY FOR

4.GO TO CONFIGURATION PAGE.YOU MIGHT BE PROMPTED FOR NAME AND
PASSWORD. NAME:pi-star PASSWORD:raspberry
5.GO TO EXPERT PAGE.
6.GO TO SSH ACCESS PAGE. ( THE TAB IS ON THE TOP RIGHT) YOU WILL
COME TO A BLACK SCREEN WITH A LOG IN PROMPT)

A BIG RED PI-STAR AND A COMMAND LINE WITH A FLASHING CURSER AT

WAIT 3-5 MINUTES WHEN YOU ARE BACK AT THE COMMAND PROMPT THE

TO EXIT JUST GO BACK TO THE TOP OF THE PAGE AND CLICK THE ADMIN
TAB. IT MIGHT SAY IF YOU LEAVE THE PAGE ANY CHANGES MIGHT NOT BE
SAVED. IT IS OK TO HIT LEAVE. IT WILL NOT EFFECT ANYTHING.

I will try again in case I mistyped something. Was just
wondering if anyone else has done this procedure.
Thanks again!
