Hacking Question Best way to backup nand?

[HideoKojima]

Hi,
- I use SX OS.
- I lost my clean backup.
- I have a 32Gb SD card (ExFAT).
- SD card has NSP games installed, XCI..etc
- I want to backup my nand and all.
- I have to use same SD card to back up the nand.
- I forgot how to backup my nand and what to backup.

Q1: Can anyone remind me of how to backup my nand: the software to use, steps + what to backup? (Or direct me to the tutorial to do so)

Q2: Will it be fine if I copy the content of the SD card to my laptop, backup my nand, then copy back the SD content to the SD card? I won't lose SX license or the games installed on the SD card right ?

Thanks a lot.

Q1: Backup with hekate. It's straight forward. Best is to backup boot0/1 and rawnand.
Q2: Backup shouldn't delete anything on your sd card. But it's always a good idea to create a backup of your sd card before.

Thanks would a 32 Gb sd card do the job?

The rawnand backup is about 29.1 GB. Check if your SD card has enough free space.
