   I'd probably want to do that after any package updates, because there's a   
   risk that the firmware files on the SD and USB become out of sync and that   
   could cause a boot failure.   
      
   If you ran it on a cron job say once a day using rsync, it would reduce the   
   chances of that happening.  Or there may be a hook you can set to run it   
   after apt upgrade.
