archiving and storage
With tapeless acquisition becoming more popular and common, I’m wondering what is becoming the most common solutions for storage and backing up? WE capture our P2 DVCPROHD media to Lacie or G-Raid external drives. Then back up to another external drive. We have so many drives already that sometimes it get confusing. Can you guys comment on what solutions and work flows work best for tapeless archiving and storage.
Thanks
JC

find yourself a disk cataloging program to keep track. Search versiontracker.com and you’ll find a few.

Juan- Just a warning when making archive/long term storage decisions. It is a known fact that “DRIVES DIE!” Most of us have examples that we’d rather not talk about. I use Toast to back up onto $.10 DVD-R’s. It will even spread large archive files over multiple DVD-Rs.

Not that slow.
With Data BR you can write and read x8.
Depending of the kind of media, you can even edit directly from the disk.
I’ve paid for the last 50Gbs disks 12 US$. Prices had gone down almost a 70%.
