How to Backup FCP X Projects & Events.
I have two projects:
- SOD intro
- SOD Frost & Snow - (heck, I'm nearly giving the plot away!)
Both projects durrently live in my Movies folder on the Lion system drive.
I will be adding more projects - all of which already / will reference the same five Events:
- SOD-2009 & Prev
- SOD-2010
- SOD-2011
- SOD-Audio
- SOD-Snow
These events house approx 3,700 clips between them. The clips in the Event 'Original Media' folders is alias material.
The 'real' original media is mostly XDCAM EX footage which has been ingested with XDCAM Transfer and is approx 1.2 TB residing in a folder called QT Footage.
All the above Event material and QT Footage resides on a 4 TB external hard drive called G-03.
I have an empty 2 TB external hard drive which I would like to use as a backup for the projects on a daily basis.
I would also like to move the projects to the working drive, rather than the system drive.
Is there a straightforward way to do this?
