Updated 2018-02-14 ! This backup method will make a copy/image of the whole card even if there is very little data on it. So if the card is 16Gb, the backup file also will be 16Gb. On the other hand You can ZIP the image file to save space. Another, maybe smarter ?,  backup method is described here .
