Hey guys! just wondering if i could make a copy of the files on the units sd card and transfer them onto a new card for future use, just in case my original ever decides to start freezing ( hope not but its good to prepare right?) I would still have to open up and remove the card but i feel i am able to do this without a problem so would you guys advise this? Thanks in advance
Why not? Just do it! I don't have another SD-Card but i have two backups of the SD-Card on my PC. One in condition of delivery and one with my current setup.

yes it s a good idea....but maybe i t s no use to open the brain , you can transfer the file from the module to a pc , in usb mode ... it will be long , but you can do it before going to bed...
folks , any objections ? :)

I agree this is the best solution - if you don't need to open the module then don't open it :-)
Yes, I also wouldn't open the brain as long as it is not necessary. I did my backups through USB. It took about 45min for the whole backup.

I did a backup of all of the contents of the module through USB as well. In the end this is an easy way to do it.
I've already backed up my card and put a copy onto a regular flash drive just in case!
I do feel it would have been better to have the SD card more easily accessible, as with a camera and possibly for future models and expansion socket for a second or backup card, it would be worth it for ease of mind and I wouldn't mind paying a few extra quid
