![]() Neither would I choose to rely on finding good internet connection, fast upload speeds, and cloud storage as the only copy of my images. I would not find that remotely satisfactory. What you said in the original post would leave you without any back-up at all as soon as you formatted and re-used the cards. You could use then at least one (better two) hard drives (or Solid-state drives) to create more backups. Since you mention 60 16GB(?) SD cards (not exactly cheap), you could use 8 128GB cards for primary backup (obviously a more expensive proposition if your primary 60 cards are larger than 16GB). ![]() ![]() One option would be to purchase a set of larger SD cards and use your camera's (Nikon D610?) second SD card slot for backing up. Any backup solution that you carry with you would at least need to provide duplicate backup. You may want to browse through this recent thread: and this one here too: Naturally, the solution depends on how much you actually shoot and how often you could upload to the Cloud - but in general I would consider this option unreliable and quite likely too slow for any significant number of images. Comments or suggestions about cloud storage and/or options for traveling this long would be appreciated. I know there is still an element of risk here. I don't want to take that many and would think I would have less to worry about if each card was uploaded to the cloud when full, format the card and move on. I would likely need 60 SD cards to get me through a year of travel. I would feel better not having to worry about lost or stolen SD cards. I have test uploaded RAW images to iCloud with no problem. ![]() But, am starting to think about using that as a conduit for uploading images to iCloud or some similar service. I plan on getting a very small laptop (windows based) ,mainly for writing. However, my spouse and I are planning to wander the globe for a year and this method would not be practical. I have been doing this for years without incident. ![]() I travel light and have never taken a laptop with me and may spend days or weeks off the wire. Normally my trips last about six weeks and I keep my 16GB SD cards in my money belt with the 300 or so RAW files. ![]()
