I can't help with your question but when counting backups I have every SD card that ever came out of my camera. I have never erased one. They don't cost much and I haven't had one go bad yet
I shoot with a Canon 5DM3 and 7D DSLRS ...
Cards I shoot cost $100 each -- and I shoot everything in RAW format, large files. Only get a couple hundred images on each card. That's would be too expensive to keep the cards. So, that would mean making a copy of each one, for safety and back-up - I ain't that rich.
Plus, no way to catalog the images either, or process them, or copy them, and print.
I agree. My wife shoots for a hobby. No way I would want to just by a new card every time one is full. She can burn one at just one soccer game or bike race.
