Archival Solution

[Jeremy Garchow]

DLT is the most reliable solution around for large backups.

You can also back up to SATA drives, but people say to stay away as the shelf life is not long.

Any brand or model recommendation to work on OSX?

Warning, “they ain’t cheap”, as someone once said.

We are transitioning to a Full FCP system from an older non-linear system at work, but our
corporation (in our budget) eliminated the monies for an archiving system. We are spoiled from using a “great” Sony AIT system for our older system. So we are a bit stuck, but here is what we are “thinking”.
Since your “Project” files (as we call them- your “Recipe”) are relatively small, we are
going to burn “projects” evey 2-3 months onto DVD’s. We also are going to try and take the
autosave vaults and folders that are “not” your capture scratch folder and burn a dvd for Each project that we do. Now 90% of our work is 30 second or less commercials and only about 10-15% long form, so we are thinking this will work. Saving our camera footage tapes (currently shoot on panasonic dvcpro50) we will not need to back up the acutal video.
Hope this helps.
