Sd card rescue
In terms of the test restore, the worst possible scenario I guess would be that you only have one backup file, and it turns out to be damaged, which causes the restore to fail partway through, thereby leaving you with an unbootable system that no longer contains any usable data, and no usable data in your backup either. If you don't have a driver package, I found a utility a while ago called Double Driver that can enumerate all of the devices in your system and allows you to extract driver packages for them right out of the host OS, so you can try using that to export a suitable driver package. In the meantime, if you have a driver package for the built-in card reader, you can try manually copying the driver to C:\Boot\Macrium\Drivers\Disk\ so that it gets included in future Rescue Media builds, or if you're using a Rescue Media flash drive, for faster testing purposes could copy it straight to \Drivers\Disk on the Rescue Media.

I've never tried to add drivers for card readers, but if the Rescue Media wizard doesn't pay attention to those, that might be worth a Wish List thread to request that support. Finally, how safe is it to go ahead and attempt an unneeded restore just to test Macrium and the image file? What could go wrong? Thanks. I can work around this by using a USB adapter for the micro SD card but. I'm using an SD card to store my image files.
