I found the answer to this question myself. Posting it here in case anyone else comes across same issue. I had set the Image Quality to RAW and that made it save Raw to both cards. I had to select Image Quality Fine + Raw OR Normal + Raw. In that case, it saves Raw to one slot and JPG to another.

thanks,

This is interesting - although its not an option I ever choose.

I would have assumed that you would have to choose Backup to get the files written to both cards but apparently not.

"Backup" is exactly what the word means, it writes the same files to both cards so that you have a backup. If you have the camera set to raw + jpg and choose backup you get both raw and jpg files written to both cards. You wouldn't choose backup if you wanted raw on one card and jpg on the other. Seems intuitive enough to me.

I wasn't talking about word "Backup" not being intuitive. Please look at my original post and the solution I found. It wasn't intuitive to me that when I choose Raw/JPG mode that I have to select image quality to be Raw + Fine or Raw + Normal. I would think even if I choose Image quality as just RAW... the 'saving" mode as Raw/Jpg should simply override image quality and save jpegs on second card rather than my having to select image quality explicitly as Raw+Fine or Raw+Normal. Now that is not intuitive enough for me.

And even stranger that it should write raw to both cards - even though you haven't selected backup
