I have successfully backed up my SD card twice by issuing the following command
sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=/home/user/Documents/raspi/images/raspi1.v2.iso bs=1M
However, now it is giving me the following error:
dd: reading `/dev/sdb': Input/output error
3027+1 records in
3027+1 records out
3174977536 bytes (3.2 GB) copied, 200.723 s, 15.8 MB/s
Looking around the net, this seems to indicate a corrupted SD card. However, my raspi (which I runs off of this SD card) runs fine (ish) and Disk Utility claims that the sd card is not corrupted.
Is there another way I can find out why dd
is complaining, if the card is corrupted, and if so, how to fix the SD card.
UPDATE:
I gave up trying to run dd
on the SD card, but I did figure out what was corrupting my SD card, it was the updating of the Raspi firmware as specified on this site
