Comments about balenaEtcher as an Alternative to Win32 Disk Imager
Worked great for Raspberry Pi SD Card image.
It's very simple and doesn't take long to flash the Raspberry Pi (Micro) SD Card with the latest version of Raspbian.
not capable of making backups from USB drive. Can only write image to drive, not the oposite
Cannot create image from drive, just write to drive from image.
This is an "etcher" or a disk writer. Win32 Disk Imager is a reader and created the filetypes that Balena uses to write to a disk. Balena is not capable of reading from a disk to an image file.
