Backing Up Photographs on the Road

Organise daily: create clear folders by date and place instead of mixing files from different cards. Preserve original names or use a consistent naming rule.

Keep a separate copy: copy images to an independent device and verify that files open. Check the copy before deciding whether to free card space.

Separate selections: keep shortlists distinct from originals and add brief notes to interesting frames. Avoid deleting everything unselected when tired.

Check before departure: account for drives, power supplies and readers when leaving accommodation. Make backups part of the daily routine.
