FAST & EASY - Hard Drive Backup for Your Photos when travelling

[@thomsonlaurie]

The folder naming in camera by day is brilliant! Thank you so much!!

[@richardchubbUK]

You're welcome! Just remember to change days when you wake up! I sometimes forget!! Thanks for watching!!

[@debrajames-bailey1570]

So if I make a folder for rack day the camera will automatically put the pictures in that folder?

[@richardchubbUK]

@@debrajames-bailey1570 Hi, not sure what you mean by Rack Day? But, no, you have to chose the folder you want to put the photos in. So on Monday morning, you select Monday folder, Tuesday morning, you then change to Tuesday folder etc. Not automatic (although that would be good!) but then when you view your card you have XX folders for XX days.

Sorry that was a typo, I meant each day!! And thanks for the reply!

Thank you very much, very illustrative and clear video. It solves my problem of backing up pictures when I’m travelling

[@richardchubbUK]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching the new video and happy travels where you go next.

I have transferred upto circa 1K photos at a time the same way, Fuji Raw files which I think are about 50mb, so upto 5GB, does work reasonably quickly enough.

Very useful, Richard, thanks a million. I was very much looking for this kind of help, in view of my upcoming wildlife trip to Uganda (including gorilla's and chimps, oh my!).

[@richardchubbUK]

Hope it works our for you, and enjoy the trip!! Thanks for watching

Are you recording C-RAW onto both SD cards? A useful video, thank you 🙏

[@beckydessa6432]

HI Richard. I am wondering if you have any tips on why it is taking so long for me to do this process you have shown, as it is my preference as well. Here are my items: I am using an Ipad 12.9 pro, a multi use usb-c dongle similar but not identical to yours (maybe this is the issue?), a Lexar professional 64 gb 250 mb/s memory card with the raw files on it, and a Seagate one touch 1TB external hard drive. It takes hours to move over 300 files, and i follow your steps exactly. Any advice would be so appreciated, thank you so much!

[@richardchubbUK]

On paper, it should be fine, with my only thoughts being the iPad. Although it is a Pro, I believe that is quite a old one? Perhaps it is not at the same level as the Ext Hard drive you are using, or the memory card? You could perhaps try the same set up using a newer device, maybe a laptop if you have one, and see if the times improve. That may prove it is the iPad? Sorry if I am not much help!!

[@beckydessa6432]

@@richardchubbUK that's really helpful. thank you!

Hi There. I have the iPad Air with the lightning connector. How can I save them. Everything seems to ask for type c connector.

[@richardchubbUK]

Not exactly sure, would this help? amzn.to/3NCkkWz, thanks for watching...

[@robzaagman9678]

Hi Richard, I went out and bought the stuff that I see in your video. I must be doing someting wrong, as neither the memory card nor the SSD show up on my iPad. Do you use a special kind of iPad? Or should ther be some power connection to the SSD or the hub (can’t see that in your video, though)? I would appreciate any info or hep you can provide. Thanks, Rob

[@richardchubbUK]

Hi Rob, that is strange, there is no external power, and they just appeared, and the iPad is an Air 5th gen, so nothing particularly special. I have just plugged everything in again, and they come up straight away in the Locations section of the Files app. This next question is strange, but so please don't take anything from it, other than that it has happened to me but....one of my USB C connectors cannot fit snugly into the iPad port due to the case it is in. It feels like it is in, but on closer inspection, it wasn't. This only happened recently, so not sure if this is happening to you. Other than that, I am afraid I am not really sure....Richard

[@robzaagman9678]

Thanks very much, Richard, for this prompt and extensive reply. I’ll have another look. Kind regards, Rob

[@robzaagman9678]

@@richardchubbUK Solved thanks to a sales rep at our local Apple Store. The Sandisk had an ExFat format (compatible with both Mac and Windows), which apparently was not recognised by the iPad. At the suggestion of the rep, I reformatted it to a Mac-only format which did the trick.

[@richardchubbUK]

@@robzaagman9678 Great you have solved the problem. I use both Mac and occasionally a windows laptop. My Sandisk is formatted as ExFAT too, and is recognised so that is strange. In any case, super happy you have managed to get it sorted...
