What Backup Procedure for FCPX
-
[Bill Davis] “X is extremely flexible in that it allows you to work these ways and more. But you’ve got to understand that an X “project” or an X “event” isn’t a big, monolithic thing. It’s a modular system of connected things.Knowing that kind of thing can really help you learn to manage things effectively.”
That’s explanation A.
Here’s explanation B: It’s a big, confusing mess that Apple is interested in simplifying.
I’m a fan of Occam’s razor. I have posted a related topic on my widely ignored blog.

Yep, awesome. Saved me a couple times. 🙂

I use Superduper and backup only when not running FCPX as above. Then I dismount the backup. May not be the fastest way, but FCPX and I don’t get confused.

It shouldn’t be ignored. I enjoyed reading it a lot!
Persuant to nothing – the barber shop where I use to get my hair cut was called Occam’s Edge.
Always thought they should have used a sub-title – “Where getting a nice haircut doesn’t have to be so dang complicated.”

Well, I didn’t even know about your blog and had even missed that you posted a link until Bill mentioned it. I started reading it while on break between shoots. Looks like I’ll be a regular reader now.
Put a link in your sig.

Well, that’s two. I’m famous! lol
Thanks for the encouragement, it’s appreciated. 🙂 I guess this means I’ll have to actually update it from time to time… I’ll stick a link below in case anyone else is bored…

Because, Jeff,
FCP X is the ONLY app I have ever used that has this problem.
BTW, since I last posted, Mike Bombich of CCC let me know of two ways to fix the Apple problem.
This is one: https://www.screenr.com/E4t
I do like the “create a folder on your Destination drive and setup a FCP backup to it” suggestion. earlier on this thread. I’m trying that tonight to see if it works as suggested.

FWIW… If the clues Alex Gollner uncovered in iMovie have any validity, It may no longer be a problem when FCP X is updated.

Which just means that you need to modify your backup strategy to suit the software, not ask the developer to change their application to suit your strategy.
Backing up to a folder in the root of your drive is the way most folks handle the situation so there’s no reason to doubt it will work for you. If some of the rumoured changes come in FCPX come to pass, you’ll only have to deal with the issue for another week or two in any event.
