I go a few routes for that:

1) Multiple smaller SD cards vs one large one.
- I shoot on an 8GB card a day/every few days. Then swap and leave the full ones in the hotel room. That way if the camera bag is stolen, at least I have some of my pics.

2) Backup to the laptop.
- Laptop doesn't go with me.

3) Upload to dropbox
- Obviously only helpful if I have an internet connection

If I was really paranoid about theft I'd copy the SD card, then mail one home, or put it in another (ie checked) bag, if I wasn't staying in the same place the whole trip. I'm generally more concerned about SD card failure.
