There is also another characteristic of the imaging backup technique you should probably be aware of. If you make an image of a 4GB SD card, and later restore that image to a larger SD card, the larger SD card will become a 4GB SD card too. That can be fixed with a different set of software tools, so you just need to be aware of it.
So if I make a backup image of my current 8gb SD card to my PC, would I be able to take That image and put it on say a 4 gb card?
