Thanks For the response. I’m just wondering if it was tripping out wouldn’t the fuse be blown? At the moment it stops and starts when the fuse is pushed in like there’s nothing to secure it in place. The fuse doesn’t stay in place when the cabinet is unplugged either.

Just trying to get back to b&w film processing and I’m having trouble with my film drying cabinet. The cabinet was bought over a decade ago and never got back into the darkroom to fire it up. The problem is with the fuse, it doesn’t want to stay pressed in. The cabinet appears to work when I hold the fuse in, but the second I let go it pops out again. I remember the person who sold it to warning me about the fuse, but I thought it just needed changing. I just swapped it for a new one when I found the problem. Please find some pics attached. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for all your responses, sorry for delay in responding. I'm in Australia, it's just after 6am now. I agree that multiple backups onto laptop and external hard drives is better than just my work flow, but I was trying to keep the weight and bulk down for backpacking. Phil, yes the jpegs were mainly to view on ipad and not for backup. I only have the 16gb ipad air, so could I view the raw files without downloading them onto the ipad? Otherwise I don't think I'll have the space. Rodeo joe, thanks for the warning of how long it would take to backup in camera, something to consider. I have 5 spare batteries from my d7000 that was stolen, so hopefully not an issue. I also like the idea of cloud storage, but how long would that take even if I had my laptop? I could maybe just upload my jpegs. Thanks again, I will re read your answers when I'm at work (in my break of course) :) I'll try and respond to the few things I have missed

I have just purchased a D800e and I'm looking for a current back up strategy for travel. Can you give me your opinion of the following workflow or suggest another? I plan on shooting raw + JPEG with the intention of viewing jpegs on an ipad while travelling. Store raw files on 16gb CF cards and jpegs on 32gb SD card so it can be used on ipad sd reader. (I have read the ipad doesn't accept cards above 32gb) Backing up the raw files from CF card to 64gb SD cards in camera in the evening or when needed. (Reasoning is SD cards are a lot cheaper then equivalent CF cards) If this is a viable workflow, do I need the fastest SD cards out there or is something slower still workable? Thanks
