[Q] Zune backup and microsd upgrade - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm wondering if the zune backup 'tool' would help with the microsd card issues.
Specifically:
a) if I backup everything before adding the sd card, would I be able to restore the backup, since the sd card formatting will return the phone to a 'factory new' state?
b) if the card doesn't work, would I be able to restore it from the backup, even though phone would be messed up?
I tried one of the sandisk 8gb class 2 cards and it didn't work for me, so now I'm researching before trying a different card.
thanks

It will only work if the backup was done on a card of the same size. Basically, you cant do a backup on a card of one size and restore to a card of another size. If its the same size card you will be able to restore fine.

SD recover files

So I partitioned my sd card not knowing that it'd wipe the sd card. Is there any way to get back my data? All I really want is my titanium backup. Have I missed something?

How do I get my phone to recognize my ext SD card?

I'm having trouble being able to select anything to save to my external SD card that I recently put in. I also just made a nandroid back up of my current ROM in CWM and as it was making the backup I noticed CWM give me a message stating "no ext sd found, skipping process..."

[Q] how to recover data for SD card with EXT 3 Partition?

Hi, I am using HTC-salsa which is S-off and uses external ROM i.e. SD- Card. 2 days back my SD card stopped working on the Phone. I connected the same SD card to my Laptop and it shows both the partition EXT 3 and FAT 32. I recovered all FAT data but not able to recover EXT 3 data. As all contacts and massages are in that part its important to recover. Please suggest me how to recover all the contacts and other data form EXT 3 participation or is there any other way to fix this so that same SD card can start working?

Need help with transferring date from one microSD card to another?

I'm getting a new microSD card for my SHIELD Tablet. The card I have inside currently is being used as adoptable storage. I want to transfer everything from that card to a new one I'm getting. Is there a simple way to backup everything and just have it auto reinstall or something like this? I don't want to have manually reinstall everything if I don't have to. Also i am not rooted.
Someone mentioned something about cloning SD cards for a raspberry pi, so would this potentially work for a micro SD card?

if anyone could provide assistance, that would be helpful
I don"t think you can clone adopted sd card. It has two partitions: 1st 16mb(infos, fat32), 2nd rest gb, ext4, encrypted. New sd card has another name & s.n., it will be not recognized.
You can move all apks you can to internal memory, rest of data copy to PC. You can use google backup too.
Set old card as public, eject it and insert new. Set it as adopted and copy data back from PC.
I think you can loose something from the folder /Android.
Without root & twrp backup&restore everything is impossible. @toph the earthbdner

TWRP backup possible with SD card formatted as internal?

Hi, I've got a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Plus running Lineage OS 14.1, and it's desperately in need of space. I have purchased a 64 GB class 10 card to install and use with the "format as internal" option as a solution, but I'm concerned about losing the ability to backup my phone. If I go through with this, will TWRP still be able to backup and restore my phone from this external card? If not, is there something I can do along with formatting as internal that allows me to retain that functionality (like partitioning the SD card, perhaps)?
Thanks!

If you use internal memory, it will not be possible to back up via TWRP, well, you may even get it, but some error will surely occur, I already tried doing it on a G2 bike with MicroSD as internal memory, and it I have an internal memory backup error, however, the advice would be to back it up on another MicroSD for total security that will be safe and no chance of error, partitioning is a big risk of something wrong
I actually decided to just give it a try. I did a full backup on my old SD card, installed the new card, formatted it for internal, ran a full backup, then ran a test restore, and it worked just fine. It does seem like a few apps don't like being kept on the SD card so I moved them back, but so far so good.
