Hi,
I have built a custom surround sound system for my car based on OpenElec and RPI2. It was completed in sometime 2015, and has been running smoothly for almost 4 years now.
I fear that at some point, one of the flashes used (the boot SD card or the storage flash) might malfunction, so i would like to back them up.
The thing is, i'm somewhat reluctant to remove it from my car and disassemble it in order to back the flashes up on a PC (using WinDiskImager32 or something). My question is - can i backup both the boot flash and the storage flash over SSH or SFTP by creating exact images of these flashes? That way, i can back everything up wirelessly in my car.
I am aware of the built-in backup function of Openelec, and have used it to back things up. But i won't know if it's good enough until something goes wrong. And since the version i'm backing up is old, i can't make sure that it'll suffice when the time comes.
Thanks in advance for your help...
