Greetings;

Trying to dd a copy of the micro-sd card the pi-3b is booting from, to 
another micro-sd card in a usb reader/writer, and winding up with 
nothing but an empty lost+found directory on it.

Obviously some sort of a syntax error, but it still takes the pi several 
hours to do it, with the traffic led on the reader/writer showing 
continuous activity.

Is there another way/util that actually works for making verbatim backups 
of these limited lifetime sd cards?

Thanks.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
