SD size - E.W. - 09-20-2022
I recieved my Aircurve 10 14 months ago and I see my SD card is about 2/3 full. What hapens
when it's full do I then need to reformat it or does the machine simply erase the old data ?

The machine will - at some arbitrary point - erase all your old data and start over.
This is not good.
Better to replace it with a new card, 8 GB or larger up to 32 GB and retire the old one to archived storage.
I'm guessing your current SD card is 2 GB. My original card was 2 GB, and it lasted about 18 months. I'm using an 8 GB card now for 5 ? years.

Can the older folders be deleted to make room for new?
Could make copies if was still relevant but I would think that is questionable.
But assuming you statement, erases all and starts over would also delete recent data. Not desired.
Can either copy root and recent folders to a new SD card or make backup copies and then delete the old folders?
Do any of the machines maintain a data validation on the SD card so it would know if modified by something else?

If you're using OSCAR and regularly download your data, you have a record of all your data on your computer.

E.W.,
Saving your original SD card data is never a bad idea. So you have a couple of choices:
- Copy the entire contents of the SD card to your computer (or external hard drive).
- Buy a new (larger, up to 32GB) SD card and put the original one in a safe place
