IMG over WIFI - energyi - 11-11-2018
Successful 4.3 release installed. Did have to clear cache on Android for GUI to work.
Is there a way to make a IMG of current working configured image over WiFi, say to a Windows machine for back up purposes? Thanks.

What the usage scenario for this?

Just don't want to remove the SD card and want to back up my settings and configurations before attempting an update. Great that we can now update without flashing an SD card. Thanks.

It would be convenient for sure :-) but I'm not aware of any utility that can remotely image a running Linux OS and then transfer the image over the network to the host computer. If it exists I'd definitely try it.
As far as in-place updates go, its usually possible to offer these within a given release of Raspbian. Its when the project needs to migrate to a new release of Raspbian OS that the only option is a re-flash. The need to migrate is usually driven by a new Pi or capability only being supported in the new OS.
Here's a history of OS changes in the 4 series
// 4.4 2018-MM-DD
// 4.3 Update 2018-10-19
// 4.3 2018-09-27
// 4.2 Update 2018-07-18
// 4.2 Release 2018-07-11
- Raspbian Stretch Lite 2018-06-27
// 4.1 Release 2018-04-02
- Raspbian Stretch Lite 2018-03-13
// 4.0 Release 2018-01-26
- Raspbian Stretch Lite 2017-11-29
There is a new release of Raspbian dated 2018-10-09 but I'm not seeing a need to migrate to this yet.

Just a brief update on this. The moOde crew is looking at doing Raspbian upgrade in-place as well :-)
