So I'm looking at kitting out a BMCC6K for a doc shoot. I'll probably be spending a week travelling and I'm trying to figure out what to do about backing up and storing footage in the field. I know Gnarbox and things like it were once a thing that there no longer seems to be a market for... I could always just buy a crapload of drives or cards, but they're hardly inexpensive. I could easily chew through 1TB per day at 6k even at 8:1. According to https://www.braw.info/capacity/ I can probably expect almost three hours of recording time, which could quite easily be eaten up in one to two sit down interviews.

I'm wondering if there's anyone who has encountered this and what they do about it. I would prefer not to drag a laptop around, but regardless there doesn't seem to be a cheap way out of this. How do the proxies hold up? I'm wondering if I can buy a bunch of CFExpress cards and then back up the proxies only so that my CF cards aren't the only place where the footage exists. Another alternative I'm considering is maybe linking with an Atomos recorder and doing the C2C thing - which would be a bit of a hassle and pain and would limit me to 1080p, but at least the footage would be then backed up in three places (internal card, Atomos SSD online).

Does everyone just record direct to SSD? The precariousness of having my only recoding medium connected by one finicky USB-C cable is.... a little concerning to me to be honest when working in the field.

I'm really vibing the look of this camera and I'd love to make it work, but I'm not sure whether it's really the right fit for a doc that isn't super basic.
