Just a reminder that if you are like me and travel with two cameras, and one has single slot, like my x100, you can use your GFX camera to copy from the card you’ve taken images on from the single card camera to another blank card to provide a backup whilst traveling. This works for more than just the X100 series, works for Leica as well.
Are you saying that the camera has a process for duplicating the content of one card to another installed in the second slot? Tell me more. (Is that the case with other Fujifilm 2-card-slot cameras?)
FWIW, my method for backing up while traveling these days is to move the files to my iPad and then let it sync to iCloud. (Another plus is that the files are “on” my home computer when I get back, too.)
(I have a two-card camera and I store duplicate raw files on both of them.)
The COPY function is in the playback menu of the X-T5 and Gfx. This will copy one slot to another selectively or the whole card. I never thought about using the function to duplicate a card from another camera. I wonder about other file type not used by Fuji, does it still copy? Pretty cool if it did.
Yes. I’ve used it for DNG files from a Leica. I’ve not tested other file types

I’ve only done it with a GFX. In my case it was a GFX100s copying files shot on a Leica Q2 from one SD to another. gdanmitchell wrote:

That’s fascinating and new information to me. Thanks!
We often travel with two Fujifilm cameras, the XT5 and XE3. I have a whole backup routine with the XT5 that involves mirroring the raw files on both cards, uploading to the cloud, and copying files to me iPad Pro. (The latter is how the iCloud sync occurs.)
But this would let me create a duplicate card backup of the XE as well, which would add a layer of redundancy that it otherwise does not have.
