Hey all, I should be off one holiday and a month or so time and I need to start planning my strategy for data storage/backup whilst away.

I’ve not got huge amounts of storage on existing CF cards (probably around 20Gb) as most of my photography is one day events.

Therefore going away for 14 days I need additional storage, so do i:-

a) Buy a load of smaller cards (4-8Gb) enough to cover the full holiday, or
b) Pick up one of those mobile card reader/backup devices. This could be eggs in one basket but possibly a lot cheaper than loads of CF cards.

No longer have a laptop (just ipads/iphones) so dont have the option of transfering to a larger USB stick/drive.
 
Netbook for £150 would be cheapest tbh.
Did think about taking my daughters netbook but with the amount of other tech gearing I'll be taking (plus the fact her netbook isn't that small/light) I'd rather avoid having to include that.

I use my iPad and the camera connection kit.
I've got a connection kit to read CF cards but concerned I wouldn't have enough free space on the idevices (will have a pair of 32Gb ipads, one 32GB iphone, and one 16Gb iphone). Also iirc the transfer speed wasn't that great (need to test again).

I suppose £150 would get me a fair amount of CF cards and if any of it could be backed up to the idevices that would be a bonus.
