HOW TO Backup SD Cards WITHOUT a Computer

I just came back from Japan and ran into that problem of bringing alaptop to ingest my footage onto a drive everyday. Do you still recommend the RavPower in 2023 and is there anything that is better today? I was thinking maybe something similar with a USB-C but im not sure if something like that exists. Black Fridays around the corner and so im hoping i can get this on sale. Currently at 79.90 on amazon ($20 more shockingly since this video). Thanks for the video!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Anyone have any idea if these options have CF inputs? Or any that do? I’m looking myself but it’s hard to find

Amazing content! Thank you for all the options

Why not just format the SD card every time after you back up the content, that way you will not have every time the same content on the back up folder, also you make space on the SD card.

Or stolen, happened to me in Oakland, CA.

Be aware...Western Digital uses "My Passport" for multiple products. I think what you are referring to is the My Passport Wireless SSD.

You can also click the copy button and hub will copy it for you automatically. So no need to involve your phone in it.

The title says you teach us how. You only told us why and what gear to purchase. Your titles needs a change. I am looking for how to change my method of backup

Currently neither this nor anything else works 'as advertised'.

Why not just connect the camera straight to the Android phone, why bother taking out the SD card and buying a SD reader? However for my own case I'm not really looking to backup I'm looking to MOVE the files to a harddrive, so that I can free up the space on my camera, those Intra 4k 10bit videos fills up my SD cards so quickly, would have been great to be able to move them to a small harddrive everytime that happens without having a laptop, but I guess the problem is that there will never be a 1-button backup solution for my case because you'd have to view and verify the transfer before you could dare to delete them from the camera.

Man thank you very much for this video... this is life changing!!!

Just remember Portable HD + RavPower + SD Card + Power bank = unlimited power

"It's bulky" ... Ok and your cameras are less bulky? haha

I have a suitable iPad and use it with a USB-C hub that has a SD card reader and a couple of USB3 ports. I use an app called FE to transfer files from SD to HDD. One point to note is that the HDD needs to be formatted to an iPadOS writable format. I have used exFAT. NTFS is read only on an iPad. My reason for using exFAT is that it's read/writeable on Windows. If you are an Apple only user choose their standard HDD format.

The file management on the iPad is terrible. It breaks, doesn't show progress, when it fails you don't know how, and the "select all feature" to copy doesn't work.

Apparently RavPower FileHub is no longer avaiable/in production & the apps is also no longer valid for download. But a Newq Filehub seems to be an exact RavPower FileHub, except the brandname. Have anyone tried using the NewHub apps to connect to the RavPower FileHub?

Amazing content!! +1 subscriber!!! I know it’s kind old content but I liked

Seems like the Inateck hub HB3001G is no longer available. Anyone seen a newer version?

Cannot buy the RAV Power now :( sadly

I am surprised by the lack of and price of this type of product, I purchased my "Verbatim SmartDisk 40gb Photobank PB40" back in 2007 for a couple hundred dollars that has a SD & CF card slots with a backlit LCD screen, I would have figured there would have been more of this type product out by now. For a product that came out almost twenty years ago, it seems quite advanced.

With short road trips & higher capacity SD card over the years, I didn't see as much a need for such a device, but now looking at longer road trips it seems I have a need for such a device again, recently begin looking into another device that's where I found off of Amazon "NewQ Filehub AC750 Travel Router" which appears to be the same product that you have reviewed with a different brand name.

You do realize you still need a VPN right?? Just because you turn wired internet into wireless doesn't mean that it's not magically secure...

Just get an android phone with 1tb or 512gb storage and use it like a hdd with a screen

Please help me I'm losing my mind

My memory card is formatted how do I get my things back

It's a bit quirky but still a great product. The biggest problem, three years later, is that the company app doesn't support newer phone operating systems. Just upgraded my phone and can't install the Rav FileHub app on it. The company confirmed they are not releasing newer versions for newer phones. Not a happy camper ☹. Any solutions?

Does the rav power work no matter how sd card is formatted? Having issues with a dash cam card not being read on my laptop I guess because of how it’s formatted. Thanks for any advice

Very informative!! Thanks man

Does anybody know of a device like that with two USB ports? I usually have to copy my footage from a card reader (xqd) to a USB drive.

Thank You for your Outstanding Video... so helpful.... But it is IMPOSSIBLE to Purchase it anywhere right now ... is the NewQ Filehub AC750 Travel Router the same ??? please

Cheapest solution of all - Use android phones and get an otg card SD card

So they have changed the name of this product to the New Q file hub for anyone wanting to buy it, it is still on amazon just under a new name

I'm absolutely flabbergasted that every external drive company out there isn't working on integrated solutions for this. People who love photography need it but now with drones becoming so popular it's even more of a necessity

Wish they'd make a cheaper one without router which I find to be useless and to slow. Just easier to connect, upload and be done. Lacie makes one with sd card slot, it's the raid pro but wish they had a ssd version that wasn't like a grand ( rugged boss pro)

I ended up here because I was watching a video called “how to move photos from SD card to iPad Pro” now if you don’t have a laptop and just have a desktop and an iPhone. The iPad is an amazing choice…yeah it’s 1k+ especially if you get the cellular iPad which can also act as a hotspot and many awesome things…but mainly you can easily just do all your editing work on the iPad / back ups as well on the go and it’s light weight. Awesome video! Didn’t need this info but you did great 😁👍🏽

3 years on from when this vid was released, none of these clever solutions is available. Anyone got any current solutions for this problem?

can't get this in the UK, anyone have any other options?

Great video, great solutions, thank you!!

Great video just what I was looking for

Hello, is there a way to put a cfexpress card to the ravpower by connecting the cfexpress card reader to the ravpower via usb or if the card can only be read by putting it in the slot? thanks!

Can you please get to the point? We all know the why... 25 minutes to express 3 to 4 minutes of information. Appreciate you taking the time to review though.

good video

instead of a SD card, can plug my insta360 go 2? because it only has an internal memory. thanks

i had 2 red and grey micro sd cards that went bad on me im scared to buy another sandisk MSDC

Great information thanks but regarding using iPad is not working, I have iPad Pro 2021 and the USB port but transferring is not working , I need to save the pictures first on the iPad then move them to the external hard drive

Since the iPhone and iPad version of Lightroom is cloud based, couldn’t you just use the Apple SD card reader to upload/backup your images to the Lightroom cloud?
