I went on vacation a year ago with just an Android tablet for backups. With an On-The-Go adapter, you can transfer files from your memory cards to Android memory and to USB flash drives via the Android device. The transfers are awkward and slow. I couldn't get it to work with a USB hard drive. Viewing the raw files was difficult. I would not recommend this backup method except when absolutely necessary.
I discovered that the Android would not recognize my 128GB SD card because it was formatted in exFAT, so had to use smaller cards in the camera.
Since this experience, I bought a Dell 13" XPS laptop, which is compact and light and speedy enough for a bit of editing with Lightroom. The laptop runs Wndows and is therefore compatible with all my regular peripherals, including the 128GB card and 1TB USB hard drive. Of course the laptop is also great for web browsing and email as well as keeping travel files, maps, bird ID books, and so on.
