Code:
sudo dd if=/path/backup_disk_image.dmg of=/dev/diskX
Replace "path" and "backup_disk_image.dmg" with the actual path and filename of your backup. You can use the drag and drop technique with Finder if you’d like. Don't forget to change "diskX" to reflect your Kobo's drive number. Then hit return. This will also take a long time, so be patient. When it is finished, your Kobo will be an exact clone of the backup.
I hope this has been helpful. |
One issue with step 5 as it is written.
You will need to follow steps 1 and 2 to remove the μSD card from your Kobo and mount it on your Mac using an USB or other adapter prior to restoring the complete image. Simply connecting your Kobo to the Mac will only expose the KOBOeReader partition so restoring the image will not succeed.
