What is the problem?

What is the best method to create a clone or backup of my OrangePi Octoprint server?
Thank you!

win32 disk imager or balena etcher possibly.

Do you really want a clone? If so, use an imager like suggested by @jneilliii suggested but if you just want to move your OctoPrint instance from one setup to another, just do a simple OctoPrint backup. This feature is built into the admin interface and is labeled as "Backup & Restore" in the side menu. Then use the same to restore that to your news instance on the new compute device.

I use rpi-clone from this fork as the original author is no longer updating his repository.

Thank you all for your help. In reply to one comment, Yes I do want clone so I can just swap out the SD card if the current working SD card gets messed up. I have had some SD cards go bad or get corrupted on some RPis. Not so far on this OrangePi, but I want to be prepared just in case.
Have a great Holiday Season All!

Following up, just wanted to let you all know that both Win32imager and Balena Etcher worked perfectly to create a swappable SD card.
Thanks again!
