Re: Backup

[Jason Porthouse] "I'd simply copy the backup file into a backups folder - mirroring the structure of the FCP Projects folder. I'd do this with the event too, if substantial changes had been made. I was able easily to pull out the last good backup of both files, rename as 'CurrentVersion...' and replace the corrupted files. X opened up fine, no issues, and we were good to go.

In other words you had to figure out a back door way to do what Apple should have as part of it's essential code.

The other thing, of course, is regular (or in your case daily) duplication of the project saved to another drive.

It all works, but in the 21st century, to be suddenly dealing with things that were resolved a loooong time ago - by the same company that seems to have now forgotten about proper backups - it's kinda kooky.
