If you have the materials at hand and would be able to try it out (making a proper 128gb backup of the card beforehand, though, in case it goes wrong and you need to restore it) let us know. If you want more space you'll need to expand the partition on the pi afterwards. Be aware that if you do this, and it works, I imagine the restored SD card will be formatted to match the size of the image, which will be the size of the USB drive. There are several areas where this may fail, namely whether this can backup the SD to the USB drive, because of the multiple partitions and their types, and whether it'll work if you restore it to the SD card then. If you only have a single SD card, maybe you can try the following as a workaround:Ī) run rpi-clone to backup the SD card to a regular USB pen drive (it will format it, so bear in mind that you'll lose the content) smaller than the SD card that you have lying around.ī) then use disk imager and backup the USB drive. I used it quite successfully in the past as I had a 32gb card that needed to shrink to a 16gb one. Plus, they have an app available for almost any device you want to run it on (Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, etc).There's a nifty tool called rpi-clone (to be used on the pi) that lets you clone the content of your SD card to a new SD card (plugged in via a USB adaptor, I imagine).

It is important to note that this is considered illegal in most countries due to copyright laws. You may find additional information on the two other methods here.
