I have not seen them at this price. Can you list a source? I do exactly what you described and it works well for me.


If it's that cheap, it's probably a low class (slow speed) SD card. You can really notice the writting speed difference between the more expensive higher class cards. So unless you have lots of time left, having a higher class card will make thing easier and there for you will generally update your backup more often.

As for data, I would recommend to seperate files in to:
- Important documents (encrypt it)
- Memories (pictures and such)
- Others, not so important/replaceble (movies, music, etc.)

This allows you to decide which data to copy to which storage solution, if you have multiple storage devices. Having multiple storage devices at differnt locations is pretty handy if a location is effected by something (fire, flooding, etc).

I use a mixture of 2,5 HDD's, USB flashdrives and stored hidden in devices.
