Last year I took an overseas trip and I decided to travel light, so my
only
computing device was an iPhone 6S+ (128 GB) with Lightroom Mobile. Tx
from
camera to iPhone was space limited, so primary backup was to my 1 TB
Colorspace UDMA and additional phone storage to a SandiskiXpand flash
drive.
They have several solutions.

That's an empty box this thingy seem to be a way better deal and you get
1TB storage from the get go:

Yup!

There is nothing wrong with that. The UDMA was the best of its kind back
then, and even now has the advantage of having an LCD display, and slots for
CF, SD, and a bunch of other memory cards.

It seems that you can back up from a SD card and then browse it from a
mobile device. From Amazon:

Built-in SD card slot
Wirelessly connect with your mobile devices
Back up or transfer photos and videos from your SD card

For most folks that should be just fine. These days it would be all I need,
but I have a perfectly good, and functional UDMA.

Whatever. For it to be a true backup you would need to have an
additional disk mirrored on the side or keep to the data on the cards
and thus have cards to cover you for the whole trip. I think that I'll
bring my 10" Acer and an external 2.5"HD enclosure on my next longer
trip to mirror important stuff. Seems safer than to fiddle with pads,
tabs or phones...

You just have to do whatever works for you. I had a triple redundant backup
in the past, and it paid off when I had my D300 stolen in 2009 and only lost
5 shots. I am doing something slightly different now, but I still have an
on-the-road backup which should still work.
