How can I backup my RAW photos while travelling without Internet access?

Question

This question seems similar to this one, but my needs are different :

• I shoot in RAW exclusively
• I'm looking for a 100% offline solution: while traveling, Internet won't be accessible
• the "laptop" solution is too heavy for me: I'm looking for a lightweight solution
• the simplest, the better: one device to rule them all

EDIT: I'm using good old Compact Flash cards (yes, the bigger ones), so I need a device that can read it. If it can read from other cards, this question might be interesting for more people than myself - that's the whole purpose of the website.

Answer

If I'm feeling paranoid about backing up, I use a Nexto DI, which can backup a card directly to its own internal drive.

It reads CF/SD/SDHC, doubles as a USB2/external SATA drive, and is much faster than most of the other similar products I could find. (There are a bunch of similar products available, but this one had the best reviews at the time, about 6 months ago.)
