Re: [Avid-L2] backing up each day

 

I see you say 'I don't know why the finder chokes on them sometimes'. Not sure what ISIS version you are on but I think v4.5 much improves Finder operations on a Mac. We are waiting for a quiet period to implement this.

I'll chime in and say that we run 'Delta Walker' on our macs.
It helps files copying to and from the ISIS. I don't know why the finder chokes on them sometimes, but DeltaWalker helps us get folders matching up.

(it is $40)

I'll second Agustin's recommendation of BitTorrent Sync. It works amazingly well for transferring large video files as well. I was able to transfer a 20 GB file in about half the time it normally takes our ftp to exchange.

Have you tried TorrentSync?
I've been using it for a while and works great for syncing, for backups I use rsync on Linux/Mac and DeltaCopy ( an Rsync front end) for Windows. (http://www.aboutmyip.com/AboutMyXApp/DeltaCopy.jsp)

I've been trying Free File Sync out on Mac, thanks to your recommendation Wilson.  It doesn't seem to copy extended attributes like colour tags and comments, though.  Do you know of a way to get it to do that?

Thanks,
--Michael

Jeff,

     Thanks for the warning; it's always better to be cautious upfront, than sorry later.  However, I've been using FreeFileSync for years on PCs & I've never had any malware problems.

     Cheers,
     Wilson

Wilson,
I found out today that the PC version of this application installs "Potentially Unwanted Programs" (web browser hijacking stuff). Fortunately, the mac version doesn't seem to have this issue.

Just figured that I'd give you a heads up in case you are running this on a PC.

Regards,
Jeff

Steve,

     What's your rationale for having 30 numbered folders inside your MXF folder?   It sounds like unneeded complexity, and it's not obvious that there's any advantage.  How are you going to guarantee that all your renders go into the correct folder of the day; or if not, are you OK with new mediafiles going into the "wrong" folder for the day?  

     I'm managing the post right now on a sizable project - our primary Avid has 24TB of local storage plus an 18TB NAS via ethernet.  I do an incremental backup weekly, using FreeFileSync:


Given that you can sync your source drive to your backup drive (i.e. copy new files; overwrite older versions of files; delete obsolete files) what advantage does your "numbered folder" scheme have?

     Cheers,
     Wilson

Anyone have any thoughts on this idea?

I want to make a new numbered file folder inside the Avid MediaFiles folder>MXF folder for every day of a project. That probably means 30 numbered folders inside the MXF folder. (I've never had more than about 6.)

Then I want to get a software utility that will back up JUST the new footage every night from one USB3 external drive to a second USB3 external drive. (We are also backing up camera media via ShotPut to LTO daily.)

What will copy media between the drives (obviously we can do this at the finder level) and also do checksums? I see that Imagine Products has a thing called ShotSum that does check summing but not the copying.

I own ShotPut, but that's really for camera cards going to multiple drives with checksumming... Has anyone used it to go drive to drive?

Steve
