Hi, my project idea is to build a media backup device for when I'm out shooting with my DSLR. The idea is to use the Raspberry PI to transfer images from a SD card to an external USB hard drive.
Since I have both a hard drive and a raspberry I thought it would be a good first project. But I would like some comments on my design. Would it be best to run the OS on the hard drive so I will be able to put my SD card directly in the raspberry or should I go for a USB card reader solution? And secondly, what would be the easiest way to control the software, could an android phone be a good solution? I want it to be as small ass possible.
The functionality would be similar to this product.
Any thoughts or comments highly appreciated!

Re: DLSR SD card backup
USB Reader for the camera SD card since the Pi will need the inbuilt SD card slot to boot off.
