Make A 100% identical copy of your TAILS PERSISTANCE USB. (prolem with electrum wallet files dissapearing) HELP PLEASE.

I dont quite understand, Im sure its something simple. I create a new TAILS USB stick with the thought in mind to copy my ORIGINAL TAILS USB stick. (Time to backup, OPSEC is a main priority) REGULAR ENCRYPTED USB is tottally acceptable too. Most things are easily able to be copyd into the new stick in the persistance file as well as other text documents that i have. However for the life of me I cannot figure out why when I copy over the electrum file with the wallets in it. And then try to open a wallet, the files say they have 0.0 bytes. therefore all the wallet files are absolutly empty. I need to know how to make a direct copy of my stick, that includes my wallets. What obvious step am I overlooking. Please help I cant continue to do this with a single copy of everything if something were to happen I would be ROYALLY fucked. Why is it so difficult to get a TRUE COPY of my ORIGINAL TAILS USB.

I dont even need it to be a TAILS stick. I would be just as happy with a Encrypted drive with all the correct info on it. I just need peace at mind that these wallets are gonna be there and permenatly. Any help would be appreciated. I know someone has to know the answer as to why It doesnt want me copying my wallet files.

Im here to compeletly 100% copy my persistance data onto another media device. My only issue is...

Im able to copy all information I need however the electrum wallet file when I open it (after restarting) lists all my wallets pertaining to the current stick. But with 0.0byte file size.

Currently panicking somewhat would hate to lose this 1 stick and lost all my wallets. + alot more lol.

Im sorry if im missing some very obvious here. Perhaps you cant copy them and you just have to use the seed. (if thats the case when it asks for a new pass for that wallet is it the same pass on both sticks of just the new one you reopend the wallet on with the old seed.)

I feel like I have copyed it before and it worked for a little while then dissapeard. Im not sure. Im really wondering if it would be just easier to reenter the seed. But i really dont understand why I cant just copy everything TAILS USB OR ENCRYPTED DRIVE. WHY DO THESE WALLET FILES DISSAPEAR SO I CANT OPEN THEM ON OTHER TAILS

Thanks all for helpeing me figure this out. Its greatly appreciated.

to make a full copy of your tails usb stick please follow these instructions https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarkets/comments/5t90u5/backing_up_your_tails_persistence_data_in_under_5/ddwk4ce/

there will be more info about both backup methods in the next days when I publish the new noobs wiki.

did you also try restoring your wallet from the seed?
