Win32Imager
Tool to create a perfect 1-1 clone of your drive.  If you backup a 64gb drive, you'll only get 64gb on the clone- even if it's a larger drive! - will error out on anything smaller

Notes:
Pandora 18S / Saga 4188 / Saga 2650 will need to make a perfect clone (from 1:50)
Most other boxes (Pandora Games 3D, 3D+, Saga EX2, DX, CX, EX etc) can use either method.
Making a perfect clone will not allow you to use the rest of the space on the MicroSD, unless you know how to tinker with resizing disk partitions.
With the Format / Copy method, we can upgrade a 32gb MicroSD to a 64gb- and use the whole amount of disk space available.
