Yes but it is not just the image I originally burned onto the SD card, since then I've uploaded and configured a bunch of files. I just wondered if there was a way to duplicate the SD card with everything I've loaded and configured on it without having to try to re-invent the wheel. It seems there ought to be a way. For some reason, I don't think just dragging and dropping all of the files from one SD card to another would do the trick, or would it?
