Hi Peter,

Perhaps they're different sizes.
Use ‘sudo lsblk -b’ to get a list of current block devices and their
size in bytes.  You can ignore the partitions.
Gather the size of both SD cards and compare.
If source > destination then that explains the error.

You can also compare source size in bytes to the size of the image file
you've created, just to see they match.

It might be that you can shrink the source's filesystem(s) and
partition(s) to leave a run of sectors at the end of the device unused.
The used sectors starting from the beginning of the block device may
then fit in the destination.
