help Backing up Sd to a bigger sd card

I did all the steps to move apps, cache, data to my sd card for the G1 phone and everything is working good but I want to backup everything on a bigger sd card and I also noticed that even if I use a new partitioned fat32 and ext2 sd card it wont boot, can any one tell me how to backup all my sd card please thank you

Hi,
When I upgraded to a bigger card, I did this:
1-copy current sdcard to computer.
2-backup your apps with astro
3-delete all caches on phone.
4-move apps and caches back to phone.
5-format new sdcard with a ext2 partition.
6-copy sdcard data from computer to new sdcard.
7-transfer apps and caches back to sdcard.
8-reinstall all apps with astro.
You should be good to go.

[Q] How to upgrade from 2GB card to 16GB card on G1

Hi I have a HTC G1 running cyanogen which came with preformatted 2GB card which had been partitioned to have a 500 MB space for apps. I would like to be able to copy the contents of what is already on the 2GB card onto the 16GB card while keeping the allocation the same. I was told that if I made an image of the 2gb card and copied it onto the 16gb card it would resolve the issue. I used Arconis to make an image of the 2gb card and used the "recover" function of the program to apply the image onto the 16gb card but when I placed the 16gb card into the G1 it reads it as a 2gb card. This is not a case of the card being fake as I had to reformat it to get the 16gb size back. I think that Arconis simply partitions the new card(16gb) to be an exact image of the 2gb card. Is there another program I can use that would help me apply the 2gb image while keeping the new card's size correct (16gb)?
Any and all help and comments are much appreciated

OK, First, make a nandroid of your existing ROM with the original SD
AmonRA:
Backup/Restore
NAND + ext backup
CONFIRM
Power phone off
Put New SD Card in
Get back into Recovery
Partition SDCard
Partition SD
Confirm
Swap Size=whatever CONFIRM
Ext2 Size=512 CONFIRM
FAT32 will default to remainder
Then, transfer all the files to the new card (you at least need to transfer the new nandroid image).
Restore nandroid & you should be good to go [restore is so you'll get the SD:ext files restored].

just reformat your memory card using your phone.
settings>storage>unmount sd card>wait..>erase sd card.
it will work.

SanDisk has a nice utility which will restore files you did not mean to delete. You can choose to restore individual files or whole directories. This assumes you have not done a "real" format of your card, or written a large number of new files over the old ones.
You can get it in their support section.

[Q] How to expand internal memory?

So the thing is, I have Acer z120 it has 1.17GB of phone memory that I can use to save any files and I notice also that data files of other applications are stored here after installation. Then when that phone memory is almost full, I used a app called Link2SD. My SD card has ext4 2nd partition and used the Link2SD to move all my apps to the 2nd partition of my SD card. But there are still other data files of apps that did not move to the 2nd partition of my SD card.
My main concern is: Is there a way that I can expand the phone memory or at least make my phone store all the data files of applications I install in my device to the 2nd partition of my SD card?
