I have created a backup using raspbx-backup of a working system on a beaglebone black rev c. When I attempt to restore the backup, it seems to restore, but does not boot successfully.
I create the backup from the running system on the emmc using the defaults for raspbx-backup (the partition size of the running system has not been increase to use all the emmc of the rev c board). The backup is stored to a USB drive. The size is 1,871,872. There are no errors during the backup.
I attempt to restore by booting an image from a microSD card and copying it using dd:
dd bs=1M if=/mnt/rasimage2.img of=/dev/mmcblk1
The dd succeeds, booting off the mmc fails.
Earlier, I created a separate backup when booted off the same microSD card using
dd bs=1M if=/dev/mmcblk1 of=/mnt/rasimage.img
The size of this image is 1,875,968. If I restore this image in the same way as above, it boots and runs successfully.
Any ideas why this is not working?
