My SD card is full. Do I need to back it up before reformatting or is the OSCAR backup adequate?

RE: Backups
I would recommend making a backup of your SD card, because the OSCAR backup only contains the files that OSCAR uses, not the complete content of the card.

RE: Backups
I would make a backup of the SD card onto the computer (or cloud, external drive, etc.).

You can also get a second SD card to use.  Anything from 2GB to 32Gb will work. Then keep the original SD card in a safe place.
