[arm-allstar] Issue starting Allstar Img.

[Mike SINCLAIR]

Hi Louis,
It depends on what operating system is installed on your computer; I'll assume it is Windows 10. 
I really like Win32 Disk Imager from SourceForge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/files/latest/download). Once the software is installed put your SD card into an SD card reader that is plugged into your computer. Open Disk Imager, click on the folder icon and choose the location where the backup image will reside. Now enter the name for the backup image. I typically name mine what the image is and a date (AllStar_20201125.img). Ensure the device/drive selected is the SD card to be backed up. Now click the Read button. If all goes well you will have a backup image of your SD card.
If/when you need to restore the image to a card place the SD card into the reader, open Disk Imager and click on the folder icon, find the already created image file. Ensure the correct device/drive is selected then click on Write. You now have a restored version of the disk.

Hope this helps,
Mike
