SD Dimension for NAND backup

Hi All,

I'm going to install BootMii as boot2.
Is a 512Mb SD card big enough for NAND backup ?

Thank you

No, because not all of a 512Mb SD Card is available to you to use when you format it, some of it is used for the filesystem and some might be bad blocks.

I don't think so. My NAND backup was like 568Mb.

I think the SD card needs to be a bit bigger than 512MB to do a full NAND backup. I read somewhere that a backup is about 530MB.

I think it must be greater than 512mb since the wii has 512mb and you can't use the whole card

Thank you very much to all of you.
It gives me a precise idea of what is needed.

You need at least 553649152 bytes free on the SD card. (4096 blocks * 64 pages/block * (2048 + 64) bytes per page + 1024 byte footer with keys)

Realistically, this means you need at least a 1GB card.
