Back up on a SD Card?
Can you back up on a SD Card? And if so which would be the best size to have, 32, 64, or 128?

As big as you can afford. I just backed up my X5 yesterday onto my SD card and it used 16MB.
you can get 1 256MB for between $20 and $30 bucks on line after rebates.

I backup on my SD card periodically and whenever I install new programs. I just put it on my 512 MB card. Right now it only takes up about 8 MB. As I add more programs it will take up more and more room. I guess at most it will take up 64 MB on a X30 with 64 MB of RAM. How big should you get? A 64 would probably be ok unless you wanted to save multiple backups on one card.

As cheaply as the 256s are selling for these days, I wouldn't go any smaller than that. 512s are still sort of expensive, although getting down into the $70 US range if you can watch for specials. As I'm sure you know, you can't have too much storage ....
