    Archiving Best Practices

    Posted by Dorit Grunberger on May 3, 2011 at 6:39 pm

    Hi Folks

    I’m redoing all my archived material and wanted your 2 cents regarding whether of not to archive render files. If I save them all, it can be well over 20GB of space right there. I’m hoping that for my projects I would spend no more than 30 minutes to render from scratch. What’s the consensus: to archive or not to archive render files

    Thanks,

    Dorit

    Thanks in advance,
    Dorit

    I wouldn’t bother.

    You’re wasting your hard drive space for more important files. I only keep renders if it is absolutely necessary.
