Download Win Disk Imager

You can create a disk image that includes the data and free space on a physical disk or connected device, such as a USB device. For example, if a USB device or volume is 80 GB with 10 GB of data, the disk image will be 80 GB in size and include data and free space. You can then restore that disk image to another volume.
When you use traditional disk imaging tools and methods designed to deal with intact hard drives, not unstable ones with bad sectors, then the system freezes, drives stop responding, disks degrade or fail under intensive reading, valuable files remain corrupted . . .
I therefore was looking into the backup plugin. The plugin's gui reads that "dd - use dd to clone the entire drive to a compressed image file". I therefore expected one single img file, however, the backup created several files (gz, blkid, fdisk, grub, grubparts, packages). since dd is capable of writing sigle img files, it would be very handy if there would be a parameter for this. This would be very handy to single-board computer users like myself, because one needs just etcher or something similar to restore the image to a SD card.
Sure. I just avoid it because too many people were using their OS drive for data as well and this would make the backup very large. The idea was that you would restore a current RPi image with etcher (use usbimager instead - ) and the just dd the partition over that.
If the file has ddfull in the filename, it is a gzip'd image of the entire device. I don't remember if etcher can automatically extract gzip or not but I think it can. You should use usbimager anyway and I know it can. You really should test the scenario and write to a secondary SD card so you know what to do instead of trying to figure it out when something fails in a panic.
"Run as administrator" (which I am already) doesn't help with the Lock Error 5 on my Win 7. For writing the diskpart utility can be used to clean it and that releases whatever lock the OS has on it but I can find no way to read it without the Error 5. Help!
I've had this problem. I now have about 5 SD cards that I use with my RPi, none allow me to read using win32 disk imager. I've tried running as administrator, even running in safe mode. Doesn't work. I then tried a new card, straight out of the packaging. This worked fine, no error 5. However, I then wrote Raspbian onto the SD and installed it in the Pi. Later, I then tried reading it again - and then I got Error 5 again....
Found a steady way to simulate/duplicate this problem on Windows 7 desktop.
I put a Windows 7/Embeded OS into a 4G or 8G CF card (I also tried CFast, the same;probably SD card will also be similar via SATA-SD converter)'s NTFS partitions(s).
Then if I use a USB2->SATA converter and then a SATA->CF converter, to read and write a gain, write is always failed half way. (Windows 7 detect the card as hard disk drive)
My theory is
1. I sense that MS Windows 7 is constantly meddling with NTFS hard disk drive, even if there is no explorer window/instance open.
2. much less meddling if it's NTFS partition on removable media (but not hard disk, as detected by OS)
3. maybe current way of identify card by drive letter list is a bad idea (must have a letter assigned, but once doing so, windows 7 start to fool around with the card's NTFS journals non-stop; but we totally can strip off the assigned letter by "Manage" tool from "My Computer" right click menu)
4. there was a WinXP tool before called "SelfImage", which uses disk ID and partition ID to identify the drive and partition, which means we totally can just take away assigned the drive letter, but shield off Windows from meddling with card, even via interfacing SATA converter tool in between (man! SATA Cfast converter HW are way much cheaper than USB Cfast reader!) . Can we have something similar to the "SelfImage" way?
Just some points missed out during my previous submit:
(Point 3. more:) Even if it's detected as hard disk (via SATA converter), if there is no letter assigned, Windows 7 seems to refrain from touching the NTFS partitions. Maybe an easy way to simulate is just to use a USB2->2.5" notebook SATA drive, but the content in the SATA drive has a windows 7 on it. Try to backup/read and restore/write on a different PC/desktop, using Win Imager32.

I formated the USB memory stick and the format application informed me that the USB stick was used by another application and if I wanted to continue. I confirmed to continue and once the formating was complete I tried again using the Disk imager and it worked. That is how it worked for me with Error 5!
@bkuehner, have you done basic checks, like checking the consistency of the disk that the SQLite databases are stored on. The error is generic meaning there is probably corruption in your database for whatever reason. Another thing you can try is deleting the currently active database and recreating it from your backup files to see whether that addresses your issues.
The disk the database is on is not corrupt, and there is plenty of free space. Since this keeps occurring, it looks to me like somehow Duplicati (or the sqlite engine in it) is producing a corrupt database for this backup set.
ODIN is a utility for easy backup of hard drive volumes or complete hard drives under Windows. A disk image can be created or restored. Only used clusters can be backuped, compression on the fly is possible. It runs under 32-Bit Windows Operating Systems. How many hours did you spend in setting up your Windows system?Setting up the operating system, installing programs, customizing to yourpersonal needs. Do you want to be protected against hard disk failures, viruses or other malware? Just restore your system within minutes. Why spend money for a commercialsolution? ODIN supports snapshots can be run from command line or with a GUI and runs on32-Bit and 46-Bit operating systems.
I know that this forum is about manjaro so thats why i came here, I have made a raspberry pi os and i wanna take the hard drive and make a image out of it but when i use gnome disk utility it wants to make a image of even the unallocated sections of the hard drive, what software would i use to make a image of the allocated partitions only on manjaro? i know that win32diskimager will do it but i dont have access to a windows computer. Any help will be appreciated
I have an Atari ST demo slideshow disk that I don't see online and I want to turn it into an .ST image to archive. I currently have an STm with an HxC2001 in an external enclosure acting as A: and B:.
My two SF314s are not connected. I plan to connect one of the SF314s to the chain-off port on the HxC2001 enclosure (which has standard rear ports for the SF354 drive its replaced) and thereby have flash for A: and floppy for B: I am wondering what util disk I might use (that is a disk image) to load via HxC that will read a floppy and save it as an .ST image. I can create a "blank disk" on the HxC and use it in A: after the util is loaded to store the .ST image, assuming it will fit on a 720K image.
Wind32 Disk Imager, developed by gruemaster and tuxinator2009, is an open-source and free utility that can be used to write the raw disk image to removable devices. It allows you to save and restore images from removable drivers like USB drivers, CDs, DVDs, and SD cards on the Windows system or backup a removable device to a raw image file.
This program is designed to write a raw disk image to removable SD or USB flash devices or backup these devices to a raw image file. It is very useful for embedded development, namely Arm development projects (Android, Ubuntu on Arm, etc). Anyone is free to branch and modify this program. Patches are always welcome.
The problem is that you mounted it to another path as in the original image.
By default /dietpi/func/dietpi-globals would be in /boot but you mounted it to /media/parallels/75DE-42E3/ in your VM.
So normally it is enough to just run the imager, this is actually the first time I see this error here in the forum.
Please, check your data location and your docker run command - looks like you have not only the corrupted databases, but also corrupted data.
I would like to recommend to stop and remove the container, check and fix disk errors first.
Coming from Windows, I expect that there is some "disk image" utility that I can run to make a snapshot of my Linux install (and of the boot partition!!) before I meddle with stuff. Then, after I've foobar'ed my machine, I would somehow restore my machine back to that working snapshot.
All references to the file system and hard disks are located locally on the virtual /dev/ filesystem. There are a multitude of "nodes" in /dev/ that are interfaces to almost all the devices on your computer. For example, /dev/hda or /dev/sda would refer to the first hard drive in your system (hda vs sda depends on the hard drive), and /dev/hda1 would refer to the first partition on your hard drive.
You can use the exact same command to back up the entire hard disk (replace hda1 with hda). You can then use any compression program (gunzip, zip, bzip) to compress the file for storage. You can use this same technique to make rote copies of entire partitions to make clones of your computer.
