I do have card back ups and back ups of the project files. Im not as concerned about those files. It comes down to what I should do with the footage after it as been ingested, cut and exported. Its it worth keeping the .mov files or should I just down size them to 1280×720 or trash them altogether? This is all for the sake of saving space. If I had it my way I would just have another set of drives, but the chances of that are slim.
