SD card backup (1 Viewer)

[ShiftZZ]

Any software to do this?

TIA

 

[GJH]

From or to?
Either way drag & drop works.

Write a batch file if it's a regular job.

I use a piece of software called cobian. Does the job quite well once its set up.

You see Graham that is Greek to me.

I sort of understand what a SD card but that’s it.

What does it mean in idiot speak ( which I am fluent in ) ?

Forget about writing a batch job then

Put your SD card in the reader.
Highlight the files to be backed up in Explorer and drag them to the SD card (or from the SD card to the receiving folder if it is the card which is being backed up).

Plug it into a lap top.
Go to 'my files'
It should be there, double click it.
Then right click on the folder you want and select 'copy'
Then open where you want to put it (like where your other pictures are?)
Right click on a space between files and select 'paste'

I am aware of copy files, but this SD is the sat nav disk for my car, I suspect there are files that copy and paste may not work.

No the laptop will read it if it has an sd card slot

 

[Gromett]

Something like this will do the job if you computer/laptop doesn't have an SD card slot.

You need to identify whether there are any hidden files and how access is restricted in order to decide if any software could overcome the restriction.
Are there any backup instructions in the car handbook and/or on the sat nav provider's web site?

Nope, thats why I was asking if there was some software.

You could ask the garage or e-mail the sat nav provider to ask.

You can't copy a satnav card completely it has hidden files, you can only back it up via the satnav software.
I learnt the hard way accidentally wiped a card cost me £150 for a new card.

most sat nav sd cards are ok to drag and drop, but the only way to prove it is copy the entire root structure to another card and see if it works. i know it works fine for tomtom as the hidden os is linux based now and used to be windows on earlier models

only ever come across one that uses a hidden system token registered to the licence

I have a Clarion stereo (Windows CE) running IGO Prima mapping supplied by TomTom. If you copy the card unit refuses to recognise it.

 

[Gellyneck]

Most sat nav software is tied to the specific SD card it was supplied on to ensure no piracy by copying the contents and passing on elsewhere.
