Digital photography

Random question from a non-photographer

My parents are off on a long holiday and they want to be able to backup their digital photos while they are on the road. They do not want to carry a laptop and will have little to no internet connectivity anyway so any cloud base backup services are pointless.

Umm ... I use my iPod, with this, a small thing that sucks all your photo's via USB lead onto your ipod. It's awesome. I can show you tonight :p.
