Ingest to more than two destinations.

Basically what the subject line is.

When ingesting, it would be great to be able to back up two external hard drives rather than just the one. Therefore when you leave the job, you know you've got your images in three places, rather than having to remember copying the job onto the other back up folder.

Done in exactly the same way as it's currently set up for the Secondary location.

Not a perfect solution, but you might look for a third-party program that automatically mirrors files from one location to another.

My NAS has software that does this, so I ingest the files to the local hard drive, then it copies them to the NAS in the background.

Because it's a background process, I don't have to wait for the copy to finish before I move into culling and editing.

You're trading the security of knowing you had two backups to get started sooner, but I'm always on the computer long enough for the sync to complete before I wrap up, so it's worth it.

Hi antpix2000, the images would be in three places already with existing PM functionality: memory cards + ingest destination #1 + ingest destination #2.  This assumes that ingest destination #1 & #2 are different physical drives.  And if your camera has two card slots and supports parallel writes, the images would be in four places in this scenario.

When I'm leaving an assignment I keep a set of my used memory cards on my person - as opposed to in my camera bag with everything else - just in case I get mugged on the way to my car.  Once I get home, everything gets moved to my NAS which uses mirrored volumes, on-premise and off-premise backups.
