When charging for businesses, you don’t bill by the hour but by the business value of the photos and your services.

Depends on the type of the gig. When I do generic event shoots, I take about 500-1000 in an hour (I shoot in burst mode), and about 30 of them make it at the most. So that makes it a success rate of about 3~6%?
Each time I raise my camera, I do like a burst of 5~20. Call me spray and pray. But hey, it works.
Follow the 3-2-1 rule. 3 back ups. Two different types, and one in cloud/off site.
Terms of delivery should be included in the contract. For personal clients I tell them that I prefer two separate physical media and a one-time digital transfer. I make it clear that the cost for physical media and shipping is part of the payment (they’ll need to pay more if they want more), and digital transfer is just a bonus so they can get them faster.
For digital transfer I ask them to provide me a link where I can upload the images to. This way, once the pictures are uploaded, it’s their problem, not mine.
Yes.
