The subject of this thread is not reading devices, so Calibre is irrelevant. Backups of ANY kind are valuable, and just because you do not see the value in a portable backup solution like SD does not invalidate it. Your preferred method would be fine as a last resort backup, but it provides no help at all if an immediate backup copy is needed on a long trip. An SD sure is a lot easier to take on a long business trip, and a lot faster and more reliable than the cloud. I usually travel with at least 15 gigabytes of video, if not more.
