▲ 2 r/R36S

Hey everyone, I’m completely new to this (no experience at all with cloning or SD card backups).
I’m getting an R36S and planning to use it long term.

I’ve read that the stock SD card can fail, so I want to be safe and make a full backup of it before anything happens.

My questions are:

  • What is the easiest method for a beginner to fully back up the SD card?
  • Is it enough to just copy files, or do I need to “clone” the entire card?
  • If cloning is required, what simple tool would you recommend (Win32 Disk Imager, Balena Etcher, etc.)?

I’ve never done anything like this before, so I’d appreciate a very beginner-friendly explanation.

Thanks!
