Hey guys, I just bought a license in light of 2.7 beta's release. I am currently rocking emunand on a 64gb SD card and I have come to realize this is not enough memory. I have a 128gb card coming in tomorrow and I was doing research on the best way to migrate information. I'm thinking:

1) restore nand dump (is this necessary?)
2) backup game saves using Checkpoint
2) create emunand on new 128gb sd card
3) transfer viewable data on 64gb card onto 128gb
4) restore game saves using Checkpoint

Am I missing anything? And is restoring my nand dump necessary since my only exposure to CFW is through emunand via 2.7? Thanks.

It's always good to have a backup, but you should be able to just copy your sx\emunand folder to the new SD. I would try that first before going through creating a new emunand unless you just want to start fresh anyway.

I used the hidden partition option. I was under the impression that the emunand folder is essentially the "Nintendo" folder and the emunand boot partition is not mounted.

Ahh ok. I think you can actually still move that too, but it's kinda of a process. So it would be better just to start fresh on the new card.

That's what I'm thinking too. Thanks!
Not related but has there been any reported instances of consoles being banned with emunand just by booting into OFW with a emunand'd micro sd card installed? I've been taking it out everytime I boot into OFW and I was wondering if that's unneccesary.
