Backuping my flashDrive
 
Hi, is that a good way to backup a flash drive ?

backup
dd if=/dev/sda of=myFlash.bin conv=notrunc,noerror

Restore :
dd of=/dev/sda if=myFlash.bin


Thx !

Depends what's on the CF drive. If it's just docs then AFAIK you gain nothing from a bit-by-bit copy and you could use your favourite archivers, if it contains say an O.S. with bootloader you do.
