Some people have used Linux systems to generate images, others such as myself use a Windows system with software that allows copying the uSD card to an image and restoring from that image. Add in a partition management utility to resize the FAT32 partition when you move to a larger card and you're in business.
There has been some items published on creating images of the entire card without having to open the unit up using various methods but restoring the image requires opening the unit.

So there is no way to see a Linux partition in Win 7? I can copy and write images, but I can't actually see any of the resultant Linux partitions? I tried Linux Reader but it didn't show the partitions on the uSD card. Is there any software or hardware that does this?
I know nothing about Linux. I was hoping if it were possible to see the Linux partitions that I could delete and replace corrupted or dysfunctional partitions. This is no doubt naive, it's probably much more complicated than I realize. You can read FAT32 directories in Linux. Why not the reverse? Think maybe I'll get a Windows version of Linux. Windows is no limiting. Would love to move onto a new OS.
