Hey all,
I just used a very useful tool today for cloning a Raspberry Pi, using the Pi to a USB SD card reader, so we don't have to remove our SD cards to back up our Spirit Rovers...
The tool is here, and it's pretty well documented:

Kevin: we should probably include this pre-installed on an image eventually, just to make backing up or cloning a memory card easier to users. Just a suggestion.

Re: A way to clone your Pi's SD card without removing it
This tool also allowed me to take an install that was on a 128GB cheap card (unreliable in the Pi) and downsize an already-working install to a 32GB higher-quality SanDisk card... so it has more utility than just backing things up.
