Backing Up While Tethering

Hello there!

Is there another way to back up the Capture One session and its photos when tethering?  I am asking because I will have an on-location assignment of 200 headshots, and I need to make sure that I have a backup of all those photos while tethering.  

I normally tether directly into an external drive, not my computer, so I would need to find out a way to do a backup of what I am tethering and how can I go about it. 

Thank you,

Adriana

  Assuming you need a tehter-time backup of image files only (not the session proper): Can you connect your camera to a computer and have image files land in a folder on disk using some application other than Capture One? If yes, you may also be able to start Capture One and point it to that same image folder using the "hot folder" feature for auto import to your Capture One session. That is how Capture One can fake tether to an unsupported camera:   https://support.captureone.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002562437-Attaching-an-unsupported-camera-Hot-Folder- 

  Edited to add a (foreign) link to tethertools: https://tethertools.com/blog/setting-up-hot-folders-in-capture-one-pro/ and also to mention that "hot folder" comes under various names, "watch folder" in Lightroom, and "Live Ingest folder" in Photo Mechanic lingo. You may want to search the net for useful applications and/or devices like CamRanger.
