On Linux:

1.) Check on which node your SD-card gets mounted on your Linux machine. You can do that via sudo dmesg -w and then inserting SD card or by using e.g. 'Disks' (gnome-disks) or by using any other tool where your disks are listed. My USB card readers gets /dev/sdd, so I need to use /dev/sdd for the following commands.

2.) Backup disk to a file:
 # sudo dd_rescue /dev/sdX ~/Backup/A600GS.img

3.) Write backup-image to new card:
 # sudo dd_rescue ~/Backup/A600GS.img /dev/sdX

4.) Start 'gparted', select /dev/sdX. Enlarge your data partition to desired size.

For the used directories and filenames you can choose whatever you like. ~/ stands for my home directory, the image file A600GS.img will be placed in the Backup directory lying in my home folder, As such I use ~/Backup/A600GS.img for the complete path.

   or

You can use disk/partition cloning tools like https://clonezilla.org/ if you don't like typing CLI commands. But be aware the Clonezilla interface is text-based too.  ;)
