Was the phone all the way off when you removed the card?  I don't think 
phones have hot-plug capability.

Did you use some Windows thing for the backup that might have written a 
file to the card ("Backup completed 8/25/18" or equivalent) or changed 
it in some other way?  Find the newest file on the card and check.  Look 
at the invisible files too.  Can you tell if any of the permissions changed?

If it was doing that surely it would have thrown up some sort of 
message.  Or it should have :-(

Nope, just flailing.  Works maybe 1/2 of the time :-)
