I have a six year old SVMi-20E system which has been experiencing multiple file corruption episodes on the compact flash card (block.tbl most recently). Each time it happens we have to either manually correct/replace the corrupt configuration or restore the corrupted files (if we can identify them) from backup. My hunch is that the compact flash card has reached it's write count limit. If I were to replace the compact flash card with a new one, what is the best way to copy the file system from the old flash card to the new one? Can it be done just using the same method used for backing up and restoring the system (i.e. via FTP)? Will this work for any hidden files? Thanks.

Nathan
