Potential unexpected results with ISO files.Always use TAR when using BZip2, GZip, Lzip or XZ.Archiving and Compression with ApplePi-Baker.UPDATE: ApplePi-Baker now also support shrinking and expanding of Linux partitions! – special thanks to Jeff and Mark for testing! I’m not even mentioning the drama when it comes to supporting the different compression formats, signing applications, and 64-bit requirements.Īlmost 2 years later, I proudly present ApplePi-Baker v2. This came with quite a few challenges, especially since Apple increased security for macOS, not allowing me to do certain things straight from my program (see also SMJobBless: Elevated Privileges in Lazarus Pascal).

Besides that, having to enter your “ sudo” password each time was a pain as well, and came with the occasional problems for a small group of users, so that had to go as well.Ībout 2 years ago I decided to rebuild ApplePi-Baker from scratch, no longer using any of the command-line tools. Over time, the use of command-line tools came with some problems thanks Apple for changing command-line tool output with every new version of macOS. This way, ApplePi-Baker became my personal frontend for command-line tools like “ dd“, “ diskutil“, “ mount” etc. Late 2013, I created ApplePi-Baker for my own use – I just got tired of looking up the proper command-line statements. Users do not just use ApplePi-Baker for this purpose anymore – I have seen users use it for backup and restore of pretty much anything not Raspberry Pi related. On the Mac it can backup and restore straight from the zip, so that's handy.ApplePi-Baker has become well known amongst Raspberry Pi users, with a Mac running macOS, to backup and restore SD-cards. Maybe you can zip the image after you perform the backup, though your problem may be that you won't always have the room for such a large file.

Oh, an alternative would be to backup straight to a zip file - at least on a Mac that's what Apple Pi Baker does, so it doesn't take up all the space.
If you have the materials at hand and would be able to try it out (making a proper 128gb backup of the card beforehand, though, in case it goes wrong and you need to restore it) let us know. If you want more space you'll need to expand the partition on the pi afterwards. Be aware that if you do this, and it works, I imagine the restored SD card will be formatted to match the size of the image, which will be the size of the USB drive.
There are several areas where this may fail, namely whether this can backup the SD to the USB drive, because of the multiple partitions and their types, and whether it'll work if you restore it to the SD card then. If you only have a single SD card, maybe you can try the following as a workaround:Ī) run rpi-clone to backup the SD card to a regular USB pen drive (it will format it, so bear in mind that you'll lose the content) smaller than the SD card that you have lying around.ī) then use disk imager and backup the USB drive.
I used it quite successfully in the past as I had a 32gb card that needed to shrink to a 16gb one. There's a nifty tool called rpi-clone (to be used on the pi) that lets you clone the content of your SD card to a new SD card (plugged in via a USB adaptor, I imagine).
