Jan 22, 2014 at 13:34 comment added goldilocks @Milliways : I can't see that answer as "too complex" for a beginner; it's just plain not complex. I don't quite explain every detail, true -- I refer to globs and mount points without defining them -- but these can easily be looked up or asked about, and they are things so elementary that if you are a beginner of some sort, you're going to have to learn what they refer to soon if you are going to learn anything at all. Someone who can't or won't learn anything is unlikely to have wanted a pi in the first place...
Jan 22, 2014 at 0:45 comment added Milliways I could have searched for the link myself, I was trying to get the original questioner to provide some details so that someone could answer his question. Your suggestion about rsync seems sensible, but is too complex for most beginners - who tend to be those who ask these questions. In fact the posted script below is misleading, as it is just a more complex way of running dd. In fact I "backup" my Pi using dd (and a script of my own) on another machine. If I need to go back it is just a case of mounting the image and copying needed files.
