Hi Bruce,
I am fortunate that a friendly sys admin in the Linux Users of Victoria,
has set up some scripts for me so that as I copy my images on an SD card
to the Working Directory on an SSD; my Raw Files are automatically
mirrored on an external drive. Then when I am satisfied that everything
is safe, I format the SD and CF cards in my camera. Then when I have
finished processing my images, I move the RAW files to a RAID drive.
When the script (based on inotify) detects that the RAW files have been
moved the mirror reflects that state and clears the mirror of those files.
I start every session with a freshly formatted card set, I run 16Gb SD
cards and a 32Gb CF card remains in the slot all the time.
I am grateful for the tremendous support I have received from the Linux
Community over the last 23 years.

transferring images!
I put the memory card in a card reader for that purpose.
But I wipe my cards in-camera.
