In my work, I don't reformat a card until I've delivered the job to the client. That's a hard and fast rule that has saved my butt more than once.

How do you do backups? I have 2 external drives everything goes on. I off load to one, edit and clone to drive 2. I have google drive that is always active in the background so any changes to drive 1 it uploads changes on the fly. If I delete anything on the drive, google pops up a window asking if I also want to delete the file on their cloud drive. So even if I make a mistake it lets me know. No need to worry about losing work. I off load, give time for my upload to complete and can format cards without worry.  Having a drawer full of cards seems crazy to me.
