Re: Backup

This is about as useful as not having it at all. This is not progress

1 - a back up or auto save should be on a hard drive that doesn't contain your project or media - so if that drive crashes - you can recover the project from another drive

2 - having something at saves just 15 minutes ago and erases all other versions -- runs the risk of saving a copy of the same corrupted project file and replacing it every 15 minutes.

You won't know if the file is corrupted until you quit and try to reload and voila - sorry file is corrupted...and hey, so is the only backup copy of the project you've spent days weeks months working on because it only saved one copy 15 minutes ago.

The MacBreak guys are great - but when they bemoan "all those auto save files piling up in legacy final cut" Those auto saves saved our bacon more times than I can recount over the years. They are tiny project files easily deleted when the projects are done.

Come on apple - make the autosave incremental and let us put it on another drive so we can control it and be able to look back as far as we want if we have to salvage a project
