Solution similar to FCP7s Autosave Vault

[Brett Sherman]

I’ve moved to Sparse Bundles, so a lot of these backup solutions are problematic because you have to manually create watch folders or projects that it needs to back up. So I’d have to create hundreds of watch folders. And remember to do it every time I started a new project.

What I’m interested in is one that can auto detect FCP X Events and Projects from all the drives you have connected and back them up without any user intervention.

How often does FCPX create that file in the backups folder?

Seems like all Apple needs to do is keep more than one project in that backups folder. I still don’t understand why there’s no vault.

It shouldn’t be too complicated to come up with a script that will keep these backup files somewhere instead of constantly replacing them.

Or keep frequent copies of any file in the projects folder called “CurrentVersion.fcpproject” with a timestamp, inside a folder with the project name.

Is Back Ups worth the money?

At $17.99, it would pay for itself with just one use. It needs to keep copies of the project file without copying every render in the folder

It does. You can choose whatever you want it to back up, from just the project/event file, to all your media. 🙂
