@BuZz Thanks for that info. I was grabbing the weekly build and happen to notice them in there so figured I'd play around with it a little. Thanks again.

Thanks guys for the help. Ive picked up another Pi 3B today to play around with :)

@somguy The problem is that you're using BerryBoot and the partition layout is different from the layout expected by the resize2fs_once service (the normal Raspbian sd-image layout with 2 partitions).
You either disable this service or ignore the error.

@fuzzybat23 berryboot works differently. You can mount the partition with the globally shared config.txt though - https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/6972/location-of-berryboots-config-txt

Thx for the replies and suggestions!

Found the problem: the Pi did not get enough power. I switched to another power source and it works :)

So this can be locked!

Thanks for the great suggestion, I wasn't aware it was on top of Raspbian Lite. Now that I know that, it doesn't make sense for me to have two versions of Raspbian!
Cheers for the speedy responses.

@y0da oh. You should also be able to find the option inside the "other settings" menu, isn't that the case?

You can select a different theme that doesn't use overlays as predominantly. What theme are you using?

@jesterking said in Backup my retropie error?:

That being said, the best... method of backing up the entire SD card that I could find is in this link

At the end of the day, making an sd backup externally really is the best, most all-encompassing method. The same advice is given in the official RetoPie documentation as well.

@Timmiejane

Thank you, that's not the one I had. Mine was the same, but it was .img, not .img256

/push

@BuZz got it, thanks

travis90x thanks so much.That solved the problem.I had the same problem using berryboot and retropie.
