@Timmy You had not indicated what system or how you are using the SD Card (all this should be edited into your question). You seem to be fixated on /dev/mmcblk0 which ONLY applies on the Pi. The link you included shows how to backup and restore on Linux. If you have problems understanding this you need to ask, NOT just list commands, which are wrong.

I can give you more information if needed, just ask me what you need to know. | |

The code I suggested will only backup the boot sector. I recommend you follow the tutorial you listed i.e. sudo dd bs=4M if=/dev/sdb of=raspbian.img on a Linux system. You have not actually provided enough details of your system to give a definitive answer. sudo dd bs=4M if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/mnt/storage/raspbian.img can be used to backup to an external drive on the Pi.

Right now I still have a working system so I can repeat the backup. So you suggest me to do this in order to make a full backup of the sd : sudo dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=boot-sector.img bs=512 count=1, then to restore the whole system using this other command: sudo dd if=boot-sector.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=512 count=1. Is it correct?
