I fouled mine up, but I bought a Backup Card from TGIF Spot, and it has never been removed from package. I am trying to recover without losing my backup card, so is it possible to back up that image to a safe place and rewrite to the corrupted card or better yet a new 16gb card?

I don't know this for a certainty, but I think the process goes as follows:

1) Back up image from backup card with "Win 32 Disk Imager" to a safe place.
2) Write that image back to a new "formatted" card with Etcher.......

If that "unopened" card is of any age, it may be faster to just download the most recent Pi-Star image and use Etcher to write that to an SD card.

After all, that "unopened" card could need half a dozen cycles of pistar-update/pistar-upgrade just to catch up to a fresh image.

Burning a fresh Pi-Star image will take shorter....

Anyway;
If you want to spend time in doing ( or need to do once you have your new Pi-Star fully updated and configured ), you can follow this directions:

Or just Google "win32diskimager clone sd card" and choose the most attractive answer, web or video...

NOTE:
Win32DiskImager allows "both ways",
READ from SD to file and WRITE to SD from file.
