Media Offline on my Cloned Backup Drive
When I've finished working on my project, I use SuperDuper to clone the External G-Tech drive (which holds most of my Media) to an internal Drive on the MacPro.
The project is in my Movies folder on the Lion system. This is backed up regularly with TimeMachine.
Backups are of little use if they don't work, so this morning, launched FCP X with the G-Tech drive switched off.
I watched the progress as the application launched, and it clearly named each of the Events on the Internal Drive but when it finished launching, all the footage was offline.
All the footage is on the drive - my original XDCAM footage - and the alias files which FCP X for some reason calls "original" when you import footage with everything unchecked.
Does anyone have any idea how that can happen on a cloned backup - and what I can do about it?
(It's a little worrying).
