Hello Erik. You must use a different procedure now. It is not possible to use the sd card supplied with the Kiwi to re-flash the Beagle. This is because of changes at debian.org
You must download a new, different image (Debian 10) onto the sd card and then re-flash. Please follow the instructions here: http://kiwisdr.com/quickstart/#id-net-reflash
John, would you recommend overwriting the original supplied SD card with this new (Debian 10) image?
You might as well because the original image is now useless. In the past I always advised against this so you always had a known good (hopefully) backup.
What condition is an sd card in, that was made with the Debian 8 / Kiwisdr backup command? Can it be restored and the KIwi caught up from there. I tried to make a backup tonight and at 25% complete got the disconnect error. My last backup was 1.562 in Oct, 2022.

So there is definitely a problem if you attempt a backup with autoruns running. I'm fixing that now. Workaround: stop them manually before doing a backup.
As for restoring from a backup containing an older Kiwi version: It's not completely clear what build problems the damaged debian.org repos can cause. It is known that builds before the HFDL release (v1.472) will fail. This is why the factory sd card (v1.2) is now useless.
A backup card you make now going forward on Debian 8 should be okay because I for sure won't be adding anything new that requires a new Debian repo to be pulled in.

@ERIK_OZ1KVB Sorry for the trouble. But glad you have it working again. You should be able to make backups with Debian 10. I just tested this to make sure it still works.
@n8oou v1.600 allows backups to work when autoruns are configured.
JKS, Thank you for the explanation. I stopped the wspr autorun I had set up even though the KIWI had updated to v1.600. The backup completed successfully.
