linux redhat 7.2

Hi guys
I am running Red Hat 7.2 on a Dell server
The total space my accounting software occupies  about 35 gb only
Is it practical for me to use my SD drive for daily backups?
Your comments would be appreciated..
Thanks
Eddie

flash media is not good for long-term storage, in addition you can break SD card easily when unlugging.

From present SD card support I'd bet on EL7U2
There are heavy-duty SD cards to handle UHD video streams in existence.
Even though the newest SD card can handle heavy-duty read/write, the issue need to resolve is the driver.
RedHat 7.2 is very old OS. It is almost not supported by any vendors now.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Update 2 I assume
Red Hat 7.2 default ext2 file size limit is 16GB...
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Update 2? That's new OS.
I've lived in old days....

For SD card backup, another thing need to take into consideration is the label and the store place. It is quite small and easy to covered by other stuff.
And most importantly not break it removing....
