      Hi All,

      If I save an image of my Retropie SD , stupid question how much will save. Does it include ROM's , Config settings, Scrapes, Video manager etc ie a perfect replacement SD image.

      I keep My roms saved but I have about 3 months of small changes like some on a different emulator etc. Certain controls.

      Does anyone know?

        Yes Win 32 DiskImager will make an exact image.

          @thrussmeister It's the full card so when you do it, make sure that you have enough space on your hard drive....I didn't! I needed to find 30GB of space to save the image.

            Assuming your SD card isn't actually full, and assuming you have enough space to temporarily store the full image, it should compress very nicely for storage.
