Agreed. I use a triple redundant system on my trips. (I am less anal
when shooting close to home.)

1. In field and/or first save at hotel, or camp on Colorspace UDMA.

2. Backup to 500GB Firewire HD, either directly from CF cards, or Tx
from Colorspace UDMA.

3. Load into Lightroom and convert to DNG on Macbook Pro.
