Looking for a good data tape backup for FCP/Mac Pro

[Jason Kalinoski]

We’ve been using an HP LTO4 (1760 I think) with BRU PE as the software interface…it’s been working well and is pretty easy to use.

We also use CATDV to catalog all of our RED footage…CATDV is great as it can generate a small proxy so when we archive the footage to LTO and erase the job, we can still browse the proxies of the raw footage.

Figuring out an effective backup strategy and workflow takes some time and it seems like everyone needs something a bit different…

We offer a solution for archive and backup. We also have it in multiple flavors including LTO4 LTO3 and Blu-Ray. It ships complete with Tolis BRU Pe software and an ATTO R380 Raid card.

[Ernie Santella] “About 300-400GB a month of shooting/editing.”

Blu Ray might be a good fit for that amount. Dual sided holds 50GB.
