Not an issue - a Plea #88

This could well be me missing something.. I use RPI-clone every day - essential stuff - sudo rpi-clone -U sda

After making a clone and putting that into the PI, I'm assuming that the clone is merely a copy of the original including timestamps. If so then if one makes several clones there is no way to see - once employed, when the clone was created. SO, if an RPI SD is broken and you have a choice of several clones to use, is there a way once the clone is put into the PI to see when THAT clone was created?

I know - probably a daft query....

Touch a file named something interesting right before you do the backup? That way it will be the time / date it was taken.

Thanks for that Lee - sometimes I miss the obvious...
