Travel and backing up memory cards I am going to be traveling in India for a month with my Nikon D300, but we won't be bringing a laptop with us. Do I need to take a lot of memory cards for the images I shoot? Or is there a small drive made that I can download my photos onto, as a back up and as a storage drive? Sudy A

Hi, Sudy, There are a number of excellent options for portable storage and backup. This page explains a number of things to consider: http://photodoto.com/portable-photo-storage-buyers-guide/ and this page has some recommendations that might point you in the right direction: http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/22/ask-engadget-best-portable-photo-backup-storage-device/ Cheers, RK

I'd make duplicates of everything. Put it on a mini external drive AND keep the memory cards. You don't plan on taking a computer, but if you end up finding computer access I'd recommend using www.podmailing.com. Broadband is needed to use it, but when my daughter was in Japan for a semester we used it. Having used it saved the day when the mini external she had all her pics on "blew" and I was the one with all the copies. Long and short of it all. If I were going to India I would make sure I had the images I took each day duplicated in a couple of storage devices AND for safety from possible theft I wouldn't keep those duplicates in the same place.

Thank you for the info and links, R.K. and Sarah! I will check out the podmailing. But we are going to be staying in some remote places, and I presume without access to computers for part of the trip. I think I will be able to use it some of the time. I checked the link to photodoto and and like the storage backup suggestions there, Epson or Wolverine. Thanks again. I shoot in RAW which take more space. I hopefully will have a photo to share with BP when I return... Sudy
