Back up cards

This function transfers the recordings from your action-cam or drone memory card to a storage device in the SD Migrator. This way your videos are backed up before you use the card again.

Backing up a card – step by step

1. Insert the card. You can use a card reader or connect the camera directly if it works as a USB mass storage device. If the card does not appear automatically, tap Mount.
2. Tap the card in the left box (Source). If only one card is inserted, it is selected automatically.
3. Set a label for the card: tap the dashed suggestion to accept it, or tap EDIT to enter your own label.
4. Choose the target (see below).
5. Tap COPY or MOVE. With MOVE, you must also confirm the operation.
6. Follow the operation at the top of the page. There you can see the progress, current phase, speed and free space on the target.
7. When it has finished, tap Eject safely. Only then remove the card.

Choosing the target

The active target is marked with ✓ TARGET. By default, this is the NVMe.

• The active target is shown at the top next to the Source and the COPY/MOVE buttons. All three boxes are the same height.
• The other target is shown below.
• Tap the lower target to make it the active target. The two boxes then swap places.

COPY or MOVE?

• COPY: The files are copied to the target.
• MOVE: The files are moved to the target. This requires confirmation.

Caution: Only choose MOVE if you no longer need the recordings on the card. If in doubt, use COPY.

Tip: Always eject the card with Eject safely before removing it.
