There are multiple kinds of memory card, such as SD card, CF card, MS (memory stick) and MMC, and their capacity can reach to several hundred GB. Generally, memory card is used among portable or removable devices and always saves precious photos, audio files, videos, and so on. When there are lots of important or precious files stored, most users choose to make a backup for these data, but they often failed to find a good solution and have to copy files one by one.

 

Actually, there is a much better solution, and it is to create a copy for memory card. There are 3 reasons for recommending this method:
