If all you need is an exact clone of the card the following might
work. I haven't tried it myself so use at your own risk (ie. put the
original SD in read only mode using the physical switch before
atempting this)

Assuming the SD device is /dev/sdc (change accordingly)

unmount the partitions (sdc1, sdc2, etc.. using umount or graphically)
dd if=/dev/sdc of=/home/[yourusername]/SD_Card_Image.dd

It should take a little while copying... then take a blank SD card,
plug it in (unmount it if mounted automatically) and to write the image:

dd if=/home/[yourusername]/SD_Card_Image.dd of=/dev/sdc


Hope it works, and remember to lock your original SD before attempting
this, that way there's no risk of damaging it.

Cheers,
Alberto
