I had a few thoughts for how I would solve the issue in the future, but did not find any ideal solutions and said I would update the blog post if anyone emailed me with good tips.<\/p>\n<p>With feedback from 21 individual people (mostly photographers), I think I have a grasp on possible solutions.<\/p>\n<h2>Backup to a Hard Drive Device<\/h2>\n<p>Most people suggested some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backblaze.com\/cloud-backup\/personal\">hard drive backup<\/a>. These devices take a memory card and copy the photos to the built-in hard drive. The complete set of devices:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Digital Foci<\/li>\n<li>Epson P-3000\/6000\/7000<\/li>\n<li>Jobo<\/li>\n<li>Nexto DI<\/li>\n<li>Sanho HyperDrive<\/li>\n<li>Vosonic<\/li>\n<li>Wolverine<\/li>\n<li>Xs-Drive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hypershop.com rel=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backblaze.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/HyperDrive_Album.jpg\" alt=\"HyperDrive Album\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>All of these devices perform effectively the same function. The main differences are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is there a screen to view the photos?<\/li>\n<li>How much space is available on the hard drive?<\/li>\n<li>How much does it cost?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Below is

I don&#8217;t know and I&#8217;m sure it depends on what you&#8217;re optimizing. However, based purely on the sample of responses I got, the HyperDrive received the most kudos, with the Epson and Digital Foci models tied for second.<\/p>\n<h2>Backing Up SD-to-SD<\/h2>\n<p>Having said all of that&#8230; One person actually found exactly what I wanted: an SD-to-SD card backup, the iMONO HD-2400 sold by USB Geek.<\/p>\n<p>It copies one SD card to another, is fairly small, battery powered, and costs just $22.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backblaze.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/USBGeek_SD_copier.jpg\" alt=\"SD-to-SD copier\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One thing I do worry about with the device is mistakenly copying the blank SD card onto the full one. I&#8217;m hoping the device has some protection against that or at least makes it really obvious which way the copy is going.<\/p>\n<p>I just ordered one now and will let you know how well it works when I get it.<\/p>\n<h2>Backup to SD Card vs. to <a href=\"\/blog\/life-and-times-of-a-backblaze-hard-drive\/\">hard Drive<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>I love the back-up-to-hard-drive devices above. Many of them look sleek, store all the photos you could take on a yearlong trip around the world, and allow you to preview and work on the files as you go. For many people these devices are lifesavers.<\/p>\n<p>However, while traveling, keeping these devices in the same bag as your camera means that your photos are not fully protected. If they were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backblaze.com\/cloud-backup\/personal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">backed up online<\/a>, fantastic, but the whole issue here was that I wanted to travel without a laptop and not have to worry about finding a blistering fast internet connection. Thus, having a card-to-card backup where I send one of the cards home periodically means losing my bag will not cost me my data.<\/p>\n<p>Either way\u2014it&#8217;s great to see that there are some options. Stay tuned for my review of the iMono device.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week I wrote about the struggle I had backing up photos while on my honeymoon.
