I remember there used to be a device that turns a hd into a portable storage, and you can back up your cf or sd card onto it directly out in the field. It is battery powered. I saw it couple years ago and it was going for well over 200. I forgot the name of it but I am wondering if there are more economical alternatives?

It must have a bit of overhead in its use of its drive space, since if you look at the spec's, it can hold only 32 1GB cards! (speaking SD cards) (Or, by extension, 1 32GB card.) Tom
