So I have a 128GB Lexar SDXC card which I used to back up my computer before formatting it (the computer) Now when I plug the card into my computer it says I need to format it before using it and the format window only has the option for 29.7GB. I made a backup of the SD card with Shadow copy but that is only a 29.7GB iso image. I was going to do a quick format and then use GetDataBack to retrieve the files but am scared since I am not satisfied with the ISO image I have.

Is there any software out there that will read the SD card byte to byte and backup the full card? Or is there a good method of restoring the card the way it should be?

I bought a $15 SDXC compatible card reader but it didn't make a difference. Google was no help.
