The diskutil said that my SD card is located on /dev/disk4, so I typed 

sudo dd if=/dev/rdisk4 of=~/Desktop/backup.img bs=1m

to backup my SD card. But there is a message

dd: ~/Desktop/backup.img: No such file or directory

What's the problem?

If you are using sudo i.e. running with root permission you DO NOT have ~ as shortcut for your home directory.

Use FULL PATHS or cd to the target directory.
