How do I backup retropie to another retropie sd card

[hackedmacbook111]

This is the sequel post of graphical errors retro Pie
I decided to install fresh copy of retro pie for raspberry pi 3 B+
I just plugged in 32GB USB drive with folder retropie-mount
And also did install main and core packages
What else do I need to backup
The original sd card was 64GB and almost full
The sd card I used for new copy is 16GB
Is there anything more I have to do
Also could anyone help me get raspbian/lxde
On retro Pie under ports

You can transfer your ROMs as usual - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Transferring-Roms/ - through file shares or - if you have the USB stick - copy them directly to the ROM folders on the stick.

Also could anyone help me get raspbian/lxde

Will it run well on 16GB PNY Class 4 micro sd

It's not the fastest SD card, but it should be ok.

Do you think 16 GB sd card with 32 GB USB is enough as replacement for 64 GB sad card

If you do the math, the answer would probably be no. How much disc space are the ROM files ? Since they would be stored on the USB stick, they'd need to be less than 32Gb.
