Backing up one's Compact Flash card has a number of benefits: storage, convenience and reliability.
Backup for storage
First of all, backing up one's Compact Flash card to a laptop is great for storing all kinds of data, stored on a card, like images, audio files and what not. Since Compact Flash card size is limited (to 4Gb for now), backing up one's card can be a convenient way of using a single card perpetually.
Backup for convenience
Secondly, backing up one's Compact Flash card can be a convenient way of copying data between laptops. Using such a small medium, which can fit in one's hand, to copy data between computers seems to be rather comfortable, as one does not have to connect the computers, or use another medium as an intermediate.
Backup for security
Thirdly, backing up one's Compact Flash card to a laptop can be a way to secure the data, stored on the card, in case a file gets deleted, damaged, or the card itself gets damaged or list. When coping data from a Compact Flash card to a laptop, the files will also be stored on a laptop and will be ready to replace the damaged or lost files.
As seem from above, Compact Flash card backup has a number of benefits. To reap the benefits, one can download Handy Backup here www.handybackup.net/download.shtml and use it to backup one's Compact Flash card to a Windows laptop or any PC with the right adapter.
