Making a back up copy
I am working on a project which is all stored on my external drive. I want to make a backup copy to which I need to keep adding when I make changes to the events and projects. What I did was, I just made a folder on the internal drive called FinalCut Back up and I copied Final Cut Events and FInal Cut Projects to it using finder. Now whenever I make changes I keep redoing the whole procedure overwriting the old Final CUt Events and Projects. I think Ia m overdoing it. I dont' think I need to copy everything. Do I need Rendered Filesand Backup folders? Or do I just copy the project files?
Or am I doing the whole thing wrong?
