That's pretty much what I did but it only copied the contents of the
first partition? IT started  the boot screen and protested about the
missing o/s.
Ok, going back though history it looks like I used /dev/sdf1, dunno why
I did that?

Force of habit, probably. I'd say 90% of the time you do work with
partitions and not whole drives so it'd be easy to type that in.
I mean, look at my restore command (I said "/dev/sdaX" as the target. D'oh!)

# I'll give it another try with: #  dd if=/dev/sdf
of=/home/bobg/sdimage.img bs=1M .

This is what fdisk sees:

Disk /dev/sdf: 14.9 GiB, 15931539456 bytes, 31116288 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

Device     Boot  Start      End  Sectors  Size Id Type
/dev/sdf1         2048   262143   260096  127M  e W95 FAT16 (LBA)
/dev/sdf2       262144 31116287 30854144 14.7G 83 Linux

Yeah, that looks like a pretty standard RPI disk (~128M boot, the rest
of it the root filesystem).
