ApplePi-Baker2.2.3

ApplePi-Baker backs up SD cards, USB drives, external hard drives, and similar storage devices, then restores those backups when the original media needs to be recovered. It gives Mac users a graphical way to preserve removable or external drives instead of relying on command-line operations. A typical session involves selecting the source storage, creating a backup, and later choosing that backup when restoring a target drive.

The utility has particular relevance for Raspberry Pi users, with support for workflows involving NOOBS and SSH. Its archive handling includes broad compression support, giving users several ways to store compressed backups. It is also suitable for preserving and recovering storage used for projects unrelated to Raspberry Pi.

A notable v2-era addition is the ability to shrink and expand Linux partitions, which helps adjust Linux-based storage layouts during backup and recovery work. These capabilities make ApplePi-Baker useful for maintaining boot media, duplicating working cards, or recovering an external drive after a failure.

ApplePi-Baker 2.2.3 runs on macOS and supports both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. It is freeware, and its intended audience includes Mac users who regularly manage removable media, Raspberry Pi cards, or external disks.
