Backing up Media files
August 06, 2007 11:26PM
We have three FCP systems with 2 to 3TB's of fiber channel drives each, since FW800 drives have become so cheap we are beginning to back up a lot to the 1TB drives. [pretty soon we're going to have to start backing up the back ups...]

I digress. Is there a software utility available that makes it easy to backup only files and folders that have changed since the last backup?

Normally i will use Media Manager to archive all the media files (video+music+graphic, etc..)

or do a google search on "auto back up software"

Media Manager might be ok if all you want to back up is part of your FCP project file, I'm looking for something that can help me with version control more at the finder level and possibly automate some of the BU tasks.

Mark, thanks for the link.

I'd imagine that since OSX is Unix I could use rsync.

For finder level, "only things that have changed" operations, try Switchback.
