Q: FCPX Backup
Hi everyone.
I am working on FCPX 10.2.3 and have a project that is using media linked to several external media drives. (I wanted to save space on my Mac harddrive, therefore I chose "leave files in place" in the import settings).
What I would like to do is duplicate the entire project, including the external media to an external drive. I do not want to MOVE the files, I just want to duplicate it, so I can store that drive somewhere safe as a backup, and continue to work on the current project with media stored on external drives.
Is that possible?
My research up to now have only showed how to backup a project, but external media stays where its at OR to Consolidate a project which then moves everything from its current location.
Is there a way to DUPLICATE the project and INCLUDE the external media in the duplication? I've seen that it was possible in previous versions of FCPX but couldn't figure it out on this one.
Thank you very much for your help.
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4), FCPX 10.2.3
