Verify after Restore
Posted: Tue Feb 11, 2014 6:15 pm
Hello,
First of all I want to thank you for your very helpful tool.
Now to my problem:
I use usbitcmd.exe V1.58 with a self written script, always using tar.gz images.
I have a custom linux board (fat,swap,ext3) booting and operating from SD card. Have used your programm the last few years a few hundred times to clone the SD card.
I never had any problems, system always booted the way it should. Now the SANDISK I used all the time are not available anymore and I switched manufacturer.
Sadly from 60 cards I restored 3 failed to boot. So I switched to industrial SD cards(very expensive). Received 5 samples today and restored it.
2 failed to boot. After programming them with another card reader all 5 boot up correctly.
Not sure if this is related to your tool or a problem with cards or reader but I need a way to be sure that images are correct because I can't test every card manually.
TLDR:
Is there a way to verify the complete image after restoring? I saw that there is an option to generate md5 but I don't think this will help. Size of SD cards is different(larger than image) so making a backup+md5 after restore won't help me.
