(* Some 32GB cards have less available free space than 29.1 GiB, so they may trigger partial backup)

After the session is done, press any key and Power off or Reboot rcm (if you want to skip step 3) Switch from the main menu Move the files from SD card to your PC to free some space

Don't move the partial.idx file! This file, keeps tabs on which is the next part to backup. Unplug and re-plug USB while pressing Vol+ (skip if you rebooted into rcm from hekate's main menu) Run hekate_ctcaer_1.5.1.bin again and press Backup eMMC RAW GPP to continue with the next parts. Repeat steps 1-4 until you have 15 2GiB or 30 1GB files Join the files with your favorite cmd/app or use the scripts provided

First try to run Dump RAW eMMC again right away. It will try to continue from the last part it was trying to backup. If this does not work, move the already backed up files to your PC, without deleting/moving the partial.idx file. Run Backup eMMC RAW GPP again, and it will start backup.

This will backup the whole physical partition as one big file.when error occurs:There are some cases that your sd card will spit errors, either because of bad sectors, or bad I/O. In these cases from v1.5 and up, it will show a specific error, which you need to right it down to find out why.Sometimes though it can't be fixed.In these cases you canpartial backup, by creating a new file called. You have to open it in a HEX editor and write these exactly hex values:(the red is the LSB, because Little-endianess).The next time you'll try to run Backup eMMC RAW GPP, it will backup in parts of 2GB.(This specific file is attached here , if you have difficulties with hex editors. Just rename it from .idx.txt to .idx.)This will trigger the automatic partial backup.In this mode it will start backing up in 2GB parts or in 1GB if you have 8GB and smaller card.It backups your eMMC, until it fills your card. It also uses a file called partial.idx, so it know which is the next part to backup.When this is done you will see a similar message like the following procedure:For step 6, there are also scripts inside a zip, provided in the download link below. Choose the correct one based on the parts size (15 x 2GB or 30 x 1GB) and based on your OS.: Users that have a 8GB SD card and less, it will automatically backups with 1GB parts.: If you have an unfinished partial backup and want to start anew, delete the partial.idx file first.: When backing up the eMMC, in parts, you should not power on the switch normally and boot to Switch OS before done. Otherwise your finished backup will probably corrupt, because Switch OS writes on your eMMC even if it seems you done nothing.when error occurs (write it down for better support):In this mode, it's easier to skip the problematic area of your sd card.You may hit these problematic SD card areas. In this case, rinse and repeat the above steps, with always keeping the partial.idx file as it is.
