How to copy the content of one SD flash memory card to another?

FAQ #101251

 

How can I access the content of a SD card?

• Over the Automation server of the PCD3 it is possible 
  - Web Server of the PCD(--> read only, and the file must be placed in the folder "WEBPAGES")
  - FTP Server of the PCD (read/write)
  - by sending the file by EMail (SMTP)
• With a card reader on a PC. For doing so the "SBC SD File System Explorer" is to be used.
  
  

Remarks
The content of a SD card is stored in the file SAIANTFS.FFS (which occupies 90% of the available disk space of the SD card). Please note that it is not allowed to "drag and drop" the file SAIANTFS.FFS on another SD card without using the "SBC SD File System Explorer"; if this is done there is no guarantee that the PCD is able to find the (copied) content of this SD card. 

The "SBC SD File System Explorer" is for free and can be donwloaded from the PCD3.R600 product section on the support site (www.sbc-support.ch).
