What LTO software are you using? Been a big issue for us.
@Michael Yaremchuk, I'm formatting them as LTFS. Used BRU Server for quite awhile but ultimately don't like a proprietary format.
Not related to backup, but how do you organise your video files? Do you organize them same way as photos with keywords or just store them in projects? I got plenty of clips and struggle to find right ones.
I offload with ShotPutPro and bring it into CatDV where I have setup watch folders which brings in metadata and proxies. And through CatDV I also archive to DLT tape. Then I bring material into fcpx where the clips are copied into the fcpx projects. Master files a sent to watch folders so they also a brought into the CatDV – and when the project a finished the project file itself is also archived to DLT tape.
Do you trim the .r3d files in RCX upon ingest, getting rid of shaky footage and/or bad exposure and focus footage, then into an NLE? Or do you only trim the .r3ds after you've done the initial import into an NLE, then choose the clips and trim from your timeline?
Wow, as a wedding photographer I'm always on the hunt for better ways to backup my photos and video, and now shooting more films, it seems like I'm always having to find more space. That said, reading this article really puts it into perspective!
