Hello! There is a raspberry pi, raspbian OS (aka debian). Everything starts from a microSDHC flash drive. Sometimes, due to inexperience, I "kill" the system, I have to reinstall everything again, all programs, updates, etc. Each time it takes about an hour.
When you insert a flash drive into Windows, it shows that there are only 64 megabytes of space on the flash drive, although the flash drive itself is 32GB. Ubuntu sees the flash drive as 2 sticks 64MB and 32GB.
Is it possible to somehow make a full clone of a flash card and store it as a backup on a computer (I can use any of the systems)?
Thank you.

Under Windows - it is convenient with the Win32Disk Image Writer utility .
There you select the path to the file and the letter of the drive (flash drive).
2 Read/Write buttons will perform the task (Read the card and write to a file, or vice versa write the contents of the file to the card).

With the dd command.
dd if=<флешка> of=<файл на HDD>
