I just recently switched over to rpi-clone after doing backups of the booted SD with SD Card Copier, the GUI app on Raspberry OS.

The original version from billw2 didn’t work with modern OS versions. After doing some lookups in the issues and online, the users pointed to geerlingguy’s version, which seems to be maintained.

I’m not using rpi-clone-setup but rpi-clone sdX and after trying it for the first time, it worked. I swapped out the SD with the copy and the raspberry booted (it didn’t boot with billw2’s version).

Next step is to create a script for regular backups.

To your questions:

• Tried it, it works for my use-case
• rpi-clone asks for confirmation, which I need to address when trying to do backups automatically
• Have tried others but needed a working copy on a new SD card, so this is the solution I’m going with
• If you want a file you probably want to use dd. I’m aware of the space issue. I quickly looked up other tools: partclone and fsarchiver seem to address the free space issue, but I never tried them so I cannot speak to that.

Unexpected Keyboard

My wife and I started to drink Oolong GABA green tea for a few years now as an afternoon habit. We both enjoy it. No caffeine, but γ-Aminobutyric acid which ought to be healthy. However, we drink it mostly to take a break and enjoy the taste. Compared to black teas this tea isn‘t strong in taste but rich in flavour regardless. For me personally it made my tasting sense become more sensitive and appreciative over small nuances in flavour.

I would agree that the tool you use has the most impact. I really like this one. For me it works way better than the one in your picture.

Maybe ask Paul Watzlawick. Or since he died in 2007, you can read one of his very entertaining books.

This is not a medical advice. And if you experience burnouts returning frequently, that‘s what you might wanna get.

However, I noticed, when I started to work in a regular job, I was able to work all year without the need of taking time off. I was used to it, since I was self-employed before that. After the first few years at this new job I started to feel the same things you‘ve felt (but maybe not to the extremes you‘ve described). So (with the lovely advice from my SO), I decided to take all my accumulated time off and we went to a place, where I really was able to turn off my phone, let my mind wander and together we explored new things. After 3 weeks, I felt not burned out anymore and was able to perform.

This lasted for about 5 months after which I took another vacation. Now I try to take at least a week off each quarter. With a longer vacation once a year if time allows.

So, what I want to say: take time off where you can stop thinking about your occupation (and anything like social media or emails). Try to learn something new (if you want to be productive) that isn‘t tied to goals or deadlines (and don‘t try to make this new hobby a profession) or you will find yourself in a worse cycle with two jobs. Even better, immerse yourself in something unproductive.
