Copying an SD card to another SD card

Hi,

I have latest Rasplex installed on a 4gb card on a Pi2.
If I was to copy the contents of the SD card to another 4gb card as a duplicate.
Would that run ok on the Pi3 even though the file system had been run on a Pi2 before hand?

You cannot run Rasplex which has been installed and run on a card in the RPi Model B or B+, if Rasplex has been installed and run on a card in the RPi2 then this will run on the RPi3.

Regards

To duplicate/copy SDCards, you can use RPI-Clone (https://github.com/billw2/rpi-clone)

You can’t install or run RPI-Clone on Rasplex, sorry.

Damn’it !

Win32DiskImager should allow you to make an IMG of your existing card and write this image to another card. I do this for backups before an update.

A clean install is always better. And I don’t know what is more time consuming. Creating a clone or do an initial setup.

Easy, clean install using GetRasplex is a lot quicker!

I did some script edits on the image. Which is the reason I wanted to clone.
As some of them I can’t remember the files I edited. lol

I use this program:

As long at the SD cards are the same size you should be fine.

I used it to backup my rasplex (with edits I had made) when I wanted to try out PMP embedded preview.

But like Ned said. Copying it back will take longer from the backup than just re-installing rasplex from scratch but if you can’t remember the edits this will work fine.
