No problem, all I'd say though is that if you change the card regularly i.e. add/remove software etc then remember to back up regularly and make sure you can distinguish one backup from another.
I'm religious about that since accidentally deleting my entire music collection 10 years ago.

Thankfully I've realised it's me. I'm now on a journey to discover why it's me. :lol:

It's early, thought you were talking to me. Duh.
