Insufficient space. Backup aborted.

Not sure if this is suppose to happen. I have 107G, but I'm trying to build a 3.4G img.

$ pwd
/home/pi/External/backup

$ df -h

Hi @tom-2015 , I've got a reply from you, but nothing appears in the issue. Did you erase your reply?

[tom-2015]

Yes, I thought you were in the Pi home directory but I see this is not the case.
Is something adding or modifying files during backup?
You can add more space to the .img file with -x [bytes] parameter, maybe if you add some megabytes it will work?

[thalesmaoa]

It doesn't work.

sudo imgclone -x 200 -d mybackup.img
sudo imgclone -x 2000 -d mybackup.img
sudo imgclone -x 20000 -d mybackup.img

[tom-2015]

20000 is just 20kb, -x 524288000 will be 500MB

[thalesmaoa]

Yes. I was not sure how much space to add. 100MB works, 50MB don't!
Thanks.
