Travel & Backing-Up Images

[David Schneider]

I'm working on a trip to Poland, Czech Republic, Germany and France with a couple of days in Iceland. Have to travel very light (to leave room for my wife's stuff). What are various ways to back-up files while on the road with minimum of gear to bring along?

If you are traveling with a computer, make a copy of the cards to it.
Leave all of your cards untouched until you get back home.
Bring as many cards as you think you may need.
They take little space, are durable, and weigh almost nothing.

Bob,

Trying to avoid taking a laptop with me.

Just taking a 32gb card and a second 32gb in case there's a problem with the first.

Too bad they don't add a function to cameras with usb ports so you can just stick in a usb flash drive and copy the card to the flash drive.

I don't know what computer you have, but after I bought the MacBook Air, it goes everywhere with me. It's so light and slim that it's hardly noticeable that it's there, particularly the 11" (which unfortunately lacks an SD slot), although I have the 13" myself. In addition to photo backup etc., it enables me to do online check-in for flights, changes to hotel bookings etc. while underway. Viewing and sharing photos are obviously also very easy. I run the complete CS6 package on mine without any problems.
