what is the magic dd incantation to copy the system from the sd card to the emmc?
#1
I am running the latest Armbian

I had trouble installing it the conventional way to the emmc - where you copy the compressed system image to the emmc. It would boot and hang/spin in the Armbian loading screen

However the system has been running no problem from the SD card. Is there some way I could copy my existing/running system to the emmc?

And could I then copy it back (for backup) to the SD card?

Ideally I'd have a 32GB system partition that I could backup periodically from the emmc

The issues is i don't really know the correct Unix commands to copy the system back and forth.

Hope someone with more Linux foo could help me out with the right dd lines (or maybe it's more complicated bc of partitioning?)
