      i’m looking for to clone my image of raspberry pi directly on my pc without take off my card from the raspberry…

            @chassain-0 - Rather than clone the entire image, why not just zip up the MagicMirror folder? Or possibly just the config and modules folders. That way you’re not saving all the standard Raspbian files.

            If you ever need to restore from backup, you can just re-flash Raspbian onto the SD card, run your OS updates, run the Magic Mirror installer and then unpack your config and modules folders. Run the npm install in the particular folders and you should be good to go.

                @chassain-0 you can use scp commandline to copy file(s) from there to here.

                syntax

                scp options user@ip:path_to_file(s) path_to_save_files_here

                for example

                scp -r user@ip:~/MagicMirror ~/save_folder/MagicMirror

                    @chassain-0 yes, just erase the node_modules folders in each place, base and modules, and then redo npm installs each place…
