Hello: Just curious if anybody has a known working solution (for Linux, not Windows) to backup and restore the SD card. In particular one that will shrink the image and only use the space utilized on the card itself, and allow restoring to a different size SD card. I figure there might be a process to create the images that are provided for this distro, but I'm unable to figure out how they are created.
I've been searching for and trying various scripts for other distros, and so far no luck in getting a working solution for this CentOS distro.
Thank you very much.

There are several ways to do this, but the easiest one for me would be to create a new SD card with a regular image, and then rsync from the current "bigger" one. It is not a working solution, but it could become one if you write the script ;)

Than information you can find here https://github.com/CentOS/sig-core-AltArch/tree/master/image_build . There is a shell script and a few ks files that Fabian uses to create the images that are released to the public.
