I've started using Raspberry Pie. Backing up the SD Card image and restore is a quick way to test things out. First check which disk the SD card is using diskutil list then copy raw format of the card to image file while at the same time compress it to save some space sudo dd if=/dev/rdisk2 bs=1m | gzip > ~/Desktop/pi.gz To restore image to SD, first unmount the card by diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2 then  gzip -dc ~/Desktop/pi.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/rdisk2 bs=1m this could take a while (to eject disk) diskutil eject /dev/disk2
