The SDCard contains the RPi Operating System.  I choose to do the backup & restore(s) using my Macbook with a USB attached SDCard reader/writer.

[edit] SD backup command on Macintosh using a "Terminal" window: 

dd if=/dev/rdisk1 of=2013June3Cifs2GSD.img bs=1m

SD restore commands on Macintosh using a "Terminal" window: 

diskutil unmount /dev/disk1s1
dd of=/dev/rdisk1 if=/Users/bdr/sandbox/raspberryPI/2013June3Cifs2GSD.img bs=1m

Of course, you may choose whatever "name" for the backup file you desire. In the preceding examples I chose the name "2013June3Cifs2GSD.img"
