I am heading to Africa in a few weeks, and did not want to take my laptop to back up all my photos. Someone mentioned in passing "Filehub" on a post last week. I checked it out, and purchased one.

This is a small battery-operated (rechargeable batteries - plugs in) device that serves several purposes. It can be used as a wireless network router. It can serve as a battery back-up for your smart phone, AND - it is a file transfer device which operates with an Ap for your smart phone (I think on either Apple IOS and Android devices).

I purchased this from Amazon for $40. I downloaded the Ap. You plug in your SD Memory card on one end and a USB Thumb Drive on the other end. You could probably use a portable hard drive as well. Although the instructions are more about using it as a network hub, I figured out how to use the Ap to create a folder on my thumb drive and quickly copy image files from my SD card to the thumb drive. The file transfer seemed pretty fast. I plan on using this every night to create backups from my SD cards onto thumb drives so that I will have a second set of images. They will also be easier to work with on my computer when I get home - with the images already on the thumb drives.
