The ability to backup multiple gigabytes of images has long been a requirement while shooting digital. Ideally you want to make three copies of every file shot while you're still on location to ensure that nothing has been lost or corrupted. The obvious solution is to copy everything to your laptop, then to an external hard drive and finally to either a second external hard drive or hyperdrive.
The advantage of using a hyperdrive is that you can view the images if need be while the computer is being used to process files. I've heard of photographers going so far as to mail their UDMA or external drive to themselves so if they are traveling and something happens to their carry-on their shot is not lost. They always have a backup somewhere else. I find this to be sound advice for the cautious geek.
