I have wondered how to duplicate the Stern Kiss SD card in my pinball machine for backup purposes. I have figured it out using a software called HDD Raw Copy that duplicates all files creating an image to a destination file.

Quoted from barakandl:

Good information. Did you mention what size sd card you should use and is there any concerns about speed/brand of SD card?
The image files this program creates would be a good method to transfer the new pinball software with since it clones everything including file system type, which may be important for compatibility in the pinball machine.

I am using a Kingston 8GB card as the replacement. I believe in the video you can see what card type and size when its held up to the camera. The card taken out of the machine is a Kingston 4GB card. I didn't want to switch brands because the prior card that Stern used had issues with the Spike system board. It seems that the Kingston brand works with the board. Thanks for asking, I should have stated that in the post.
