Do You Backup Your Sd Cards?

[bomberman]

Having said that, I'm finding SuperTux a pain to back up - my GP2X has it in NAND, where it works fine, but copying it bit-for-bit to the SD card seems to make it work only a small percentage of the time. And the only other version I can find on the archive seems to be much older and a different port.

I pulled the version right out of a Firmware 3.0 rip (/mnt/nand/supertux 11/21/06) and don't seem to have issues with it.

linux:
dd if=/dev/sdb of=gp2x_sd1.ddi ; gzip sdcard_1.ddi

I can save you a step on that: dd if=/dev/sdb | tar jcf sdcard_1.dd.bz2
ooh I like that
How would I 'do the reverse' ... maybe:
tar jxf sdcard_1.dd.bz2 | dd of=/dev/sdb ???

Heh, I've been using unix since 1983 and there's still better ways to do things to find out(!)

lol, I was born in 1983!

But I do love bash and other unix tools. I started using linux when I was 13 and love finding new ways to do things with unix/linux tools.

I use xcopy which only copies files that are new or updated because of the switches applied. Here's an example of the command line options:

XCOPY "i:\*.*" "c:\Backup\GP2X\SD1\*.*" /D /E /C /I /F /H /R /Y

Hehe - but I'm actually jealous.
