Well, This one finally sorted from one point of view using the linux part of this article, on my ancient 32 bit laptop with Xubuntu. The laptop has a SD card slot.
https://thepihut.com/blogs/raspberry-pi-tutorials/17789160-backing-up-and-restoring-your-raspberry-pis-sd-card The SD card is identified as mmcblk0p1 and 0p2 to back it up I used the command string /sudo dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=./card4backup.img/ To restore, I unmounted the new card after inserting, and /sudo dd bs=4M if=./card4backup.img of=/dev/mmcblk0/ I have tested it and it boots directly to my fixed IP address, and all parts of the filesystem that I have checked seem ok. So Now, Is it my USB-SD card device or something to do with Etcher, or?
