Is there a SD card copy utility for Pocket PCs?

I want to copy an SD card to another one... I know I could do it manually,
but is there a way of doing it auto, or a freebie program to do it?

Re: Is there a SD card copy utility for Pocket PCs?

Since the main memory is normally much smaller than the sd capacity,
doing this on the ppc is not practical.

However, using a card reader;

Assure that the pc's file explorer is setup to show hidden and system files

create a transfer folder on your pc

insert the sd card in a card reader and locate it in file explorer

drag the card to that transfer folder

after the transfer is complete, insert the new card

highlight and copy the _contents_ of the transfer folder

paste that into the root of the new card

Remember copy, xcopy and diskcopy back in the early DOS days? Back when
floppies were larger then the available system RAM?

Funny how things come full circle, we're back to the same situation on
PDAs with SD cards now.
