6dmk2 - wifi backup?

Does anyone know of an option out there where I can auto-backup as I shoot wirelessly to a harddrive (no computer or phone) of some sort in my backpack? Does my camera even allow something like this? Can the canon connect station do this?

Even if it could, it would be v e r y s l o w.

From a speed perspective & given the 6D2 doesn't seem to have 5GHz wifi built in, then real-world transfer speeds would probably be less than 70Mb/s, meaning a full res file (say 33MB) would take close to 4 seconds to transfer under ideal conditions if my maths is correct. In our neck of the woods, the 2.4G wifi bands are usually heavily congested, so transfer time could well be double that.

i guess i would be a solo use case as regular wifi speeds are good enough for me especially if the camera is running all day and the hdd is running all day in my backpack backing up (battery life would probably be another issue). Its not like ill need to man the backup while im shooting throughout the day. I use regular 2.4ghz backing up my raw files via wifi and the speeds are more than bearable

Ill dream on, one day!

but sadly need a computer as no hdd will support this standalone

Why introduce more hardware into the situation? Use multiple relatively small cards and in the evening properly back them up.

This is all personal preference. I do not want to get home at 12AM from an event and sit there backing things up (or spend that same time the next day). Better to back things up as the day goes, get home, sleep, wake up, plug in hdd, edit away.

Honestly, I wouldn't do paid work without dual-slot camera set to mirror everything to both cards. Boom. Instant backup.

except youll still have to transfer images at the end of the day.

Sure, but I can start an import into Lightroom and go to bed. Importing and backing up are really separate issues.

my import is the backup. well at least my current workflow is. then ill back it up again somewhere else. That way i have 3 copies 1. on the sd card, 2. on the work hdd, 3. elsewhere.

What happens if your memory card dies during a shoot?

it has before actually and sandisks rescue pro actually works wonders. I probably lost 2 pics out of the 900 that were on that card.

And when it loses the lot?

i was saying the entire card went kaput and i was able to rescue 898 of the 900.
