Using Savageduck's definition of backup protocol (which I very much agree with), your list makes a lot more sense. And, he didn't outline it, so this isme making a pseudo Savageduck backup protocol:

Actually my triple redundant "On-The-Road" backup protocol. To be clear this is a backup protocol for images captured while away from home base.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I expected. I didn't consider the Colorspace, since I assumed you would use in-camera mirroring of memory cards, but you may not have a camera with dual memory cards so then the colorspace is an excellent first step.

My D300S has CF and SDHC slots. and while I have used the in-camera mirroring feature, I find using the secondary slot for overflow much more useful. Especially when shooting lots of images at events such as air shows, motor sports events, and stuff like that. Then if I shoot RAW+JPEG, RAW goes to the CF card & JPEG goes to the SDHC. Also using SDHC cards as part of the traveling back-up show might be OK for some folks, but not me.

Full backup of the MBP HDD is a separate issue an is dealt with by Superduper. My desktop Mac is backed up with TimeMachine

Sandman
How come you don't use Time Machine on your MBP? SuperDuper is nice, but Time Machine is incremental, which sounds like a better choice, no?

The MBP is meant to give me a degree of portability and lugging a HDD farm around adds a burden to that portability. One OWC FW800 Mercury drive doesn't take up too much space. TimeMachine is a consideration, but the way I use my MBP would make it less than efficient or perhaps a little less practical. BTW: Superduper does incremental saves.
