project files
Our old RAID died and we have just purchased a new 4 TB CalDigit. HDOne set to RAID 5 so we don’t lose media should one drive crash.
My question is: Since there is backup on the RAID doesn’t it make sense to keep all our FINAL cut pro project files on the RAIDS instead of the internal drive in the g5. (where we’ve been keeping them for years) That way If we lose a drive we wouldn’t lose our project files. -

Project files and media are suppose to be kept on separate drives for better performance. My system is setup like this: project files on internal HD1; auto save vault set to internal HD2; capture scratch set to external G-RAID; every so often I backup my project files from HD1 to both HD2 and G-RAID. As far as project files go, this gives me quadruple redundancy. If any one hard drive fails, I have 2-3 other locations to recover my project files from.

And if you have Leopard and Time Machine set up, this is even easier. We have Time Machine backing up all our Edit systems main hard drive every hour.
