Great video. In [good] IT we call this the "3-2-1 rule": Three copies of data, on [at least] two different kinds of media, one of which is off-site. Glass Slipper is a much nicer name!
Most people are not going to have a RAID nor the knowledge to make one themselves and I have seen these fail from time to time (regardless of RAID type, it'll all fail at once if the controller goes poof or if more than one drive fails at once), so I'm pretty paranoid about having one copy of anything important on a single array - having it sync maybe to another drive or array is a good move before the slow process of syncing to the cloud. Still, this is a great explanation of good data backups, and much, much better than what most companies are doing. Data recovery costs are light-years more expensive than good backup strategies and recovering anything is never guaranteed. Just spend the time and money on solid backup solutions and never worry about data recovery again. Great point on Dropbox/OneDrive/Goodle Drive not being real backup solutions.
Agreed on all the above! I think we filmmakers borrowed a lot from the IT world (especially once Cloud was more accessible). I was pretty shocked by the data recovery cost but at that point there’s nothing you can do BUT pay for recovery. A backup is so much cheaper so lessons definitely learned there. Thank you for the excellent comment!
*Very professional. When you get to an unknown channel with less than a thousand subscribers, you expect anything but a professional approach.*
*I carefully watched the video from beginning to end - this is well thought out and structured material that will be useful to many.*
*Definitely like and subscribe.*
I appreciate it! Even us pro filmmakers still have to start from zero subscribers like everyone else on UA-cam. I’m looking forward to bringing more content to everyone online though.
i'm always 5 to 7 projects behind and over the years i've learned to edit off of SSD, HDD (clone of SSD), redundant backup on a 5TB HDD, and duped on another 5TB HDD which lives in a pelican case along with the original sets of memory cards all inside a fire and water proof safe. Then I go to bed and sleep like a baby.
Good job 👌👌
sis, you gotta get on digital rebellion's post haste if you're not using it yet. one click project management for your entire folder hierarchy. i have all my premiere, AE, da vinci etc templates pre made so all my projects are immediately setup at once. i can't tell you how much time it saves literally naming folders and creating bins and sht.
Great advice, Sidney. Keeping safe copies of your footage is so important. I know I was recently looking for a friend's thesis project, realized it was on a computer that had crashed, but luckily it was on the friends portable drive and my own. And then the friends drive crashed. Thank God we had another backup
Great job with this video. Really professionally presented and a important topic to discuss. I've just spent the last 3 days reorganising my footage and backups and I can feel the stress leaving me. Haha. So good to have things orginzed again.
Thank you so much for this 😁😁
Good video. You should review your about page on your website. One day I will make a video...
Good tip, I haven’t used my website in a very long time so I’ll have to peek in and review it. Make your video! You can do it!
Me too!!!
also do you have a quick tutorial on how to get this to auto backup to sync? I'm having trouble getting it to actually sync all the files in every folder, it's just syncing some of them. bout to dump this service already but it seems really promising so I want it to work lol
