RPi4 sdcard died, wondering about the best way to backup my new card
There is a small utility, which shrinks the image by omitting the empty space. Then you can write it to any SD card, which the data will fit on. So in your case even on a 2GB card.

How do you backup your RPi?
backup.sh - this is what makes the image and uses pishrink to shrink it

backup for noobs in linux
Depending on what single board computer you are using, you may want to look at PiShrink. This will at least allow you retroactively shrink the image you create to the actual amount of space used.

Backup a running Raspberry Pi over to the network to TrueNAS (Or anywhere else)
I was pretty familiar with most of this but I did not know about the "image backup" utility. You may also want to look at PiShrink in your process as well.

PiHole SD Card image copy
I run a full dd to create an image and then run pishrink https://github.com/Drewsif/PiShrink on it. I used to manually size the partition down with gparted and calculate how much to dd and then gparted the new card to expand the partition - too much work. Pishrink does all the work for you and is fast.
