### Basic Information:

Printer Model:creality cr 10s  
 MCU / Printerboard:stock  
 Host / SBC  
 klippy.log

_Fill out above information and_ _ **in all cases attach your** _ **`klippy.log` _file_** (use zip to compress it, if too big). _Pasting your_ `printer.cfg` _is **not** needed_  
_ **Be sure to check our “Knowledge Base” Category first. Most relevant items, e.g. error messages, are covered there** _

### Describe your issue:

…I wrote a new klipper-mainsail image on a new sd card and I want to copy my config (and other needed stuff) from the original card to the new card. What is the best way to get it done? I know this is probably a stupid question but I’m new at this.

Thanks Steve

Hello @Zxi1100 !

1. Shutdown the SBC
2. Take out the new SC card
3. Insert the old SD card
4. Power up the SBC
5. When accessible, download the needed data.
6. Shutdown the SBC
7. Take out the old SC card
8. Insert the new SD card
9. Upload the saved data.

The `printer.cfg` should also be there.

Another route:

1. Put the old card in a reader and install it to your PC.
2. Use DiskGenius\* to open the Linux volume on the card.
3. Copy files to a “local” folder
4. Use web UI to upload

\*alternative software to read ext4 volumes
