    Good Software to Backup the SD Card?

    I had to reformat my SD card since it became corrupt. I lost some music, pics, and saved games (from SNES ROMS, etc).

    From what I understand, the most discussed backup programs (Astro, mybackup) are only for the data on the phone, not the data on the cards.

    Now I can always mount, copy and paste from the phone's SD card to my computer, but that seems redundant after a while.

    Is there a program that someone has used which is compatible with the droid, and will sync and save just the updated files since the previous backup (rather than backing up everything on the SD card again)?

    Thanks for any help.

    This is what I use, works great (except I recommend using FileZilla for the ftp client on your computer):

    Also for media:

    If you already have a backup app on your PC it might do this for you while your SD card is mounted. In other words, there's no need for an app specific to the Droid for this purpose unless maybe you want the backup to launch automatically once the SD card is mounted.

    I place mine in the docking station, mount the droid to my Win7 Ultimate box and copy to a folder on an external backup drive. Quick and easy.

    In Astro you mean Application Backup/Manager? I just backed up all my apps using it.

    But it doesnt back up all the data on your setup just the apps...

    If you want to backup the whole phone what's the best way.

    I have XP - is this possible? Please explain the steps.

    Also you can use the docking station to connect the Droid to the computer? How?
