Back up with digital is difficult at the moment. Those with Canons can have 
a smaller/cheaper body, but with Leica's they are a bit on the exy side to 
justify 2 bods. This is the reason we decided to use HElen's older Olympus 
as a back up for me and the DMR on our recent trip. She was using one camera 
for tele and one for wide: great idea and my one camera body set up was not 
really ideal. I would have loved to have another DMR, and I hope the R10 
comes out so I can use the DMR as a back up. I do carry the film back with 
the DMR so a "real" alternative to a second M8 would be a film M. Some will 
use a smaller digital ps as a back up, but of course you cannot use the 
lenes and have to lug the dead leica for the rest of the trip. I had to lug 
the dead 70 - 180 mm vario on this trip when it set itself to f22 and stayed 
there :-(

Cheers

I've pretty much stopped worrying.  I carry the M8, two extra batteries, and
a spare SD card.  No other backup.
