Create SD Card image
 

I have a SD card image (.img) file that I downloaded. How do I install it to a SD card using Ubuntu? I am new to linux so please take this into consideration if you answer.

Thanks.

you should just be able to dd it on.

dd if=/home/user/mysdcard.img of=/dev/sdb

assuming your sd IS at /dev/sdb

That worked Thanks!

Regards.

It is the same command, you only have to change the input and output files. Assuming that your SD-card is /dev/sdb it would be

If working from windows try Pen Drive

Thank you all people.

Unfortunately, while trying to copy an image of my SD Card, I did that on my backup partition and the files on my SD Card replaced all my backup files (over 400 GB of data).
I believe there's a way to revert that action, isn't there?

Thank you in advance :-).

Overwritten data can't be reverted. Doing any action as root is very dangerous and you should think twice before doing it. You may have the chance to recover a part (depends on how much is overwritten) of that data with the program photorec, which is part of the testdisk-package.

Thank you ...
