Poking around online I noticed sd cards are large and inexpensive. This plus

Safe bet to buy a few of these?
I would suggest you be religious about your backups: consider them a
REdistribution medium--from you back to you, not as a storage medium. I
have had cards die on me multiple times over the years, including a 32GB
Samsung microsd card within the last year. Maybe full-sized SD cards are
better, but I am skeptical.
It would be nice if they became reliable, they are getting scary big and
dang cheap.
-kb, the Kent who has finally gotten good about backups in the last year
or three, but that's a whole 'nuther story.
