When my children were doing something that they *knew* I would want them to do elsewhere, they were subjected to me looking at them, slapping my head, and shouting "duh ... RAID". They knew that meant that they were about to be exterminated. I don't think they ever actually saw the commercial, and if they did I suspect that they would be offended by the idiot bug.
The notion of a town's one store having Binary Raid boggles the mind.

I back up a lot, but not from the reader. Not even sure how to go about that?

Copy/zip the reader's disk(s). That simple. Really!

Would I send the files to the reader and then copy the SD card and Sony main memory somehow?

To back up, aim your zip program at the root of your sony's disks and let them run. To restore, you would plug the device in, format the 'disks', then unzip the backups onto the right memory. Sonys will survive that. Other devices might need a reboot.
It might even be possible to use your OSes incremental backup facilities on the disks. Can't see a reason why it wouldn't work, but that is of course meaningless. For all I know a particular program may work only on Thursdays.

I keep meaning to try the auto sync but tried the Sony sync when I got my reader and it took me 3 hours to get things working again. Apples and oranges I know but the memory lingers. If I do try it will it restore my collections?

I want to answer 'yes', but the true answer is 'I don't know'. If all of your collections are represented in series and tags, then the answer is yes. If some of your collections are entered manually and don't appear in calibre's metadata, then the answer is no.
