Backing Up Your Photos While Traveling

Better Fuji Photos Episode 24: Backing Up Your Photos While Traveling How do you ensure your photos are secure while you're on the road? You certainly don't want only to have them on one SD card - you'd lose everything should that SD card disappear or get damaged. You can still follow the 3-2-1 backup rule while traveling, and we'll look at some strategies for this in this episode. Have 3 copies of your photo files Store them on 2 different types of media 1 of those copies should be off-site (a different location) WITH A LAPTOP: Copy the photos from the SD card to your laptop, then from your laptop to an SSD (three copies of at least two types) Back them up to the Cloud if you have WiFi (one copy off-site) In all cases, spread out all three storage devices throughout your luggage, so they're not in the same bag WITHOUT A LAPTOP: Copy your photos to your phone or tablet using an SD reader adapter For added security, then copy them to an SSD using a USB adapter (three copies of at least two types) For extra security, back them up to the cloud if you have WiFi (one copy off-site) In all cases, spread out your storage devices throughout your luggage, so they're not in the same bag Links mentioned in this episode: Fujifilm Photographer Membership: ⁠⁠https://photocourses.link/fujimembers⁠⁠.
