Just got my Rezound today and I activated it with the sd card (16gb) that came with it. I later swapped out to my 32gb card i had in my Droid Incredible.

When I browse the file manager with Astro, it's showing an sd card folder on the root of the phone with just a handful of stuff like Slacker (which came bloated withe phone) and an 'sdcard2' folder which is all of my stuff from my 32gb card.

Problem is, trying to restore some app settings, such as COL Reminder, it's looking for the backup data in sdcard folder (#1), whereas it's in sdcard2.

When I hook up the phone to my PC, it finds the sdcard2, but not the other one.

What I'm worried about is if I backup my card to my PC then reformat the card, will it find the correct folder?

The Rezound has an internal and an external SD card. When you plug into your PC you should actually mount both(unless you're out of drive letters). /sdcard is the internal(16GB partitioned) and /sdcard2 is the external(now your 32GB) which can also be seen at /sdcard/ext_sd/ You can copy files back and forth without a problem..including your backup info.

It looks like that is the case - 2 drives showing, but different from my Droid Incredible when I hooked up to the PC, this 'sdcard2' naming has screwed up a lot of my apps. Stuff like MyBackupPro, COL Reminder, etc, all saved data in my sd folder, which is now named sdcard2, and it's looking for the data on sdcard (1).

I've manually copied the backup folders over to sdcard (1) and it seemed to have worked, but it's a pain...

Yeah, this internal and external SD card thing is confusing at first. Had me baffled for a little while.
