Troubleshooting • SD Card Copier; Drives changed - copy aborted

$

Hi there,

Just going through my usual backup from the boot SanDisk Extreme Pro 32GB to a backup SanDisk Extreme Pro 32GB using SD Card Copier as I always do prior to updating the boot card as I have just done on my 5x other RPi 4 4GB running Buster but for some reason on this Pi it is giving me the error while copying @halfway through Partition 5 out of Partition 5; 'Drives changed - copy aborted' before the whole system becomes unresponsive and has to be power-cycled to reboot.

Thinking it might be the card I am cloning to I replaced like-for-like with a brand new SanDisk Extreme Pro 32GB from a sealed blister-pack only to have it fail at the same point again maybe pointing towards an issue with the boot card?

Power is coming from a DrayTek P2100 and it is using 6.1w from an available 30w on that particular port (140w Budget in total) so I am certain it isn't a power issue. Besides two other Pi 4's are running from the same DrayTek switch and they have just copied across all 5 partitions to backup and updated the boot card with no problem.

I don't want to update the existing card (155 updates according to sudo apt update which seemed slower than usual to complete) in case something fails as I don't now have a valid backup to use in the event of a failed update to the boot card.

This has been ongoing for some weeks now so I decided to look into the issue starting with a new backup card but what is likely to be the problem and where should I start looking to troubleshoot this issue please?

Thanks & kind regards,
