Greetings, I have seen lots of information on how to flash an image TO an Intel Edison. Are there any tools to allow you to retrieve an image FROM an Edison? I set up Ubilinux on one of my Edison boards the way I like it, and would like to copy it to my other Edison so they are the same. I imagine I could create a script to do so with df-util (as the flashall script does), but I would prefer not to try to reinvent the wheel if something already exists. Are there any Linux programs that allow you to back up and restore a running OS over the network (I know that is a stretch). Any guidance appreciated!

Hi BillMerryman,
I would love to help you with that, I think that the best way to do this is making a backup in a drive, some users have used these methods:
There isn't an official program to do this, but this threads can you help with your goal.
I hope you find this helpful.

Greetings,
Yes, that appears to have worked, and is good for my purposes.
I still would like to have been able to take an image by way of dfu-util, but I can live with this. I see dfu-util has an option for reading back an image, and I attempted to use it, but it just threw an error with no indication of what it was. I tried the following (to do the rootfs):
dfu-util -U C:\Users\Bill\Desktop\image -d 8087:0a99 -a 7 -v
and here is what I got back:
Opening DFU capable USB device...
ID 8087:0a99
Run-time device DFU version 0110
Claiming USB DFU Interface...
Setting Alternate Setting # 7 ...
Determining device status: state = dfuIDLE, status = 0
dfuIDLE, continuing

Hi BillMerryman,
It is good to know that it was useful, about the dfu-utils method I have not heard about that, and as far as I know that method is not validated on the Edison.
Personally, I recommend you to use the provided method.
Have a nice day.
Regards,
