You can also use the command dd
in a terminal:
``shell
sudo fdisk -l
* Once in your backup folder, you need to extract and compress your SD card with this command (the letter X must be replaced by the letter determined in the first step):
```shell
sudo dd if=/dev/sdX | gzip -9 > ./recalbox-20150411-sdb.img.gz
/dev/sdX
is your SD card):gunzip ./recalbox-20150411-sdb.img.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdX

process, open a new terminal and type the following command:
watch -n 5 sudo pkill -USR1 -n -x dd
