When I travel to an important place where I absolutely don't want to lose images. I follow a robust protocol. Yes, my method requires a small computer, but I need one for business reasons anyway.
I shoot dual cards for in the field redundancy, but once copied to the computer I reuse the backup card. I take enough SD cards to keep one for each day of shooting. I start with a fresh one each day.
I put a copy of the files to the computer drive.
I then store the daily cards in the room or front desk safe.
Assuming I have Internet Access, while I sleep I let my computer sync up to my NAS at home. The NAS is backed up to remote backup server automatically. If you are into photography and do not yet have a NAS I strongly suggest you look into one. Price is reasonable and there are just too many benefits not have one.
Most times I don't shoot a crazy amount of images. 500 would be a very big day for me, I don't think I have ever broken 1,000. Not like the thousands a day I see some shooting. This is true even on Safar. How many images of lions and such things does one need in a lifetime?
