by Lee Koo (ADMIN) - 7/24/09 3:14 PM
When you’re traveling, how do you store or backup all your once in life time digital photos?
I keep them stored on multiple multimedia memory cards.
I store them on USB drives.
I store them on my laptop/Netbook.
I stop by the local shops and burn them on DVDs.
I use an online storage service.
I store them on a portable hard-drive.
I store them on my multimedia player.

I use Eye-Fi Explore SD card.
When I travel, I find a unsecured Wifi network (from my iPhone); turn my camera on, SMS my roommate to move my mouse so my iMac isn't idle and voila... Once its all there; I get a SMS back and you're good to go!
Mobile.me of course

About Backup My Photos While I am Traveling

Hello To All;
While I was traveling; I always bring my portable hard drive with me. It is easier to use and probably lighter than being all those flash drives with me.
Multimedia device

I use the Epson P5000 to back up the photos while traveling, so that I have one copy on my memory card and another on the Epson device.
On some occasions when I travel with my laptop, I will save a third copy on it.

Storage of pics when travelling

I usually travel with my laptop so I download the photos whenever I can, copy to a DVD and then upload to Picasa so I know that even if my laptop is stolen or crashes I have a back up of them. It also means that I can send family and friends smaller slideshows regularly rather than waiting until we get home and sending a huge one!
Always in Two Places...

I always keep my photos stored in two places. As soon as I'm able, I transfer them from the camera to my laptop. I don't delete them from the original memory card until I have made a CD or DVD, or backed them up online.
Pictures. What pictures?

I'm one of the visually challenged. Long ago I picked up a Canon A-1, possibly the finest SLR's in the world at that time for almost a song. I used it exactly once, to record a Soviet ship visit to 32nd Street Naval Station in San Diego. I gave the pictures to the young sailors (female 
who accompanied me, and put it back in my locker. Some years later I gave it to my sister who's into all things art.
I can recite the menu of any place I've dined in the world, but don't ask me to recall the decor. I wouldn't have a clue.
No backup !

The memory size of Flash Card like SD, Memory Stick and CF is increasingly large. Now you can easily buy a 8G(min) SD card with a very cheap price. So why bother on another backup device ? Just take photo by your DSC or dSLR with a large Flash Card. It's the cheapist, convenientist and almostly take no weight in you backpack.
Sounds good, but
by waggerla - 7/25/09 2:33 PM In reply to: No backup ! by hifly.liu... it's always good to have backup.
Worst case scenario: backpack/camera gets stolen or is lost. It happens.
On a photo bank, of course.

I've got a device called a photo bank to store digital photos while on vacation. The device stores up to 40GB of photos, takes different kind of media (MS, SD, MMC XD), has USB connectors, and is the size of a 2.5" hard drive. It runs on built in (rechargeable) battery and doesn't require much energy.
Keep it simple!

With the price of memory cards so cheap these days, it's much easier and more practical to bring extra memory cards. You'll likely be to busy to worry about transfering from one device to another (not to mention that the less you have to haul around with you, the better) and/or subsequently having to find a good connection to upload to an internet storage site. Take it from someone with first hand experience, keep it simple and you'll thank yourself for it later!

I have half a dozen SD memory cards for my camera ( 1-2G. ea.)which hold all the photos I want to take. I label ea. with a small sticker on the outside case and don't edit them till I get home again. There is no extra equipment to carry around and I don't spend precious holiday time in front of the computer!
Whatever you end up doing for your situation, I hope it is the best one for you. Enjoy the holiday and those photo opportunities!
