I was wondering what the cheapest method of backing up and restoring NDS saves from official carts.
It must be usable with my 64bit Linux installation as I single boot my system and don't have Windows on any system in my place.
I can't lose the ability to go on WFC as my game I plan on backing up is wifi so firmware flashes are out.
I plan on using this when Pokemon Diamond and Pearl come out to clone event pokemon after borrowing them from people online.

Please don't cheat with online games o.o
And cloning counts as cheating.
Just get GBAMPv2 and a CF card + CF card reader and use it with REIN.

Thanks for the suggestion.
As for the cheating I am only doing it because it is the only choice to fill my Pokedex. I am from Canada and they don't do events for us. I refuse to let a AR touch my games, I even refuse to accept hacked pokemon in trades. As you can see clones of just the Event pokemon is the closest I can get to a perfect clean game.
I am doing good so far, I have a emerald game that has all 386 sorted and unhacked personally caught by me except the event ones which I got from verified as unhacked save games online. then on to my carts via xboo+sendsave.

Is this me, or this number doesn't just look random... (sorry on going offtopic)

I second this suggestion.
You can mount the CF card as a standard block device with a USB reader, and should have no problems. I use a SuperCard CF and ReinMoon myself, but the concept is the same.

I got thinking about it and what device would be best with a SD card because my laptop already has a built-in SD card reader (tested to work in Linux) and I have a SD card already so that would knock a lot of the price off what I have to pay.

gbamp-cf(cheapest CF device) is $25, and supercard-sd(cheapest SD device) is $45. (rough prices from last i checked). if you can get a small cf card + cf reader for less than $20, it's still cheaper.
gbamp-sd is somewhat supported, but doesn't work for writing yet, so it won't do what you want.
