I have a dohickey that I found a few years ago. It's a USB 1.0 (that's
how old it is) external hard drive and memory card interface that's
powered over USB when you plug it in to the computer.
yeah, i've heard of hard drives with card slots that automate copying to
the hard drive; what i was imagining was a much smaller, lower-power
device to simply duplicate from one SD card to another, thinking this
would have several advantages for backups (including the fact that you
could send the duped SD cards home, view them in the camera, replenish
them if necessary for more backup space ...
currently i usually travel with my 13" laptop, in part so i can back up
and review photos, but it is too cumbersome for some types of trips
