But everyone has a different workflow so what has worked for me wouldn't necessarily be the best plan for you.įive years ago the big name in automated incremental backup was Acronis. Then in a worst case, you can re-import your raw video and the most recent veg file and you are back in business quickly. Of course you also need a backup of your veg files. Putting raw video into the cloud would seriously tax my internet connection, I'd think. Even with RAID I'd still want something that was independent of my work area. I know one of the reasons for RAID is redundancy but I once had a power supply failure that took out multiple hard drives at once. Me, I still use tape, so my tapes are the "backups" that are stored elsewhere. If you have just one copy of your source video files I'd assume you'd want ASAP to make a backup that is kept in a different location.
What is your workflow? Are you using tape, or are you using SD cards that are copied over to hard drive and then reused? I have shopped a little bit and found GoodSync, which has a decent rating on CNET from the editors, but the first three customer reviews rate it as 1 star. I don't want to backup 40 GB of RED camera footage every night, only the VEG files or new AE files, etc.
#ULTIMATE BACKUP DRIVE SOFTWARE#
Obviously, given the large nature of files in our business, I'd like a software that does incremental backups, or rather, only changes files in the Backup drive that have changed on the RAID. Who knows or can recommend a consistent backup software. I added a USB 3.0 card and an e-SATA drive, so I have plenty of backup space now. I have so very many projects on my media drive, which is appx 8 TB large (with around 4 TB used during less busy times) and 4 TB used during busier times.Īfter a recent near death of my RAID (and an increase in business to 5 active projects) I have taken a lot of steps to improve the backup of important files, projects that are in motion.
