Hello Angela. Could you use a large thumb drive as a travel backup instead of a SSD? (Assuming that my library is small enough) And would all this functionality you covered here work the same?

Hi, @shanetillotson5390 - Unfortunately. thumb drives cannot be used as Mylio devices. They (along with camera cards) are considered temporary media and thus can't be used as Mylio devices. ~Angela

14:17 Randy asks: "couldn't you just carry around another vault drive?" Is this something that shouldn't be recommended? As in travelling with a vault drive and taking the risk of losing it? I imagine the purpose of Mylio offering the option of a Travel Backup is to precisely avoid bringing a vault drive with you?

@JadeSambrook - It depends on your needs and the size of your library. If losing the drive (and having someone misuse the contents) is a concern, then not traveling with your entire library is prudent. However, if needing access to your entire library at full quality is important, AND your library is small enough to fit on an SSD, I don't see an issue. Personally, I travel with an SSD Vault. This is not my only Vault drive, though. I would make sure to also have a Vault drive that is left at home as well. ~Angela

Something that isn't clear for me, at 07:25 you show that the Travel Backup was added to the iOS File System. Does it automatically call the external drive that you added Travel Backup when connecting with an iOS device? Or did you have to name it Travel Backup?

Hi @JadeSambrook - I named it Travel Backup when I first got the drive. It makes it easier to identify in the file system that way. ~Angela
