hard drive management and archiving suggestions
by Greg Mulvey on Oct 23, 2008 at 6:19:12 pm

I have a client with projects that take up a 1tb drive every month. They want me to save everything when a project is complete, even the unused media. Needless to say I have quite a collection of external G-Raid drives. I'm just curious how others manage there media drives as well as archiving.

I've been toying with the idea of sticking two 1tb drives into my MacPro and using one as a media drive and set the other one up to mirror the first one. Then when the drive gets close to being filled I would simply pull one out for archiving and then replace it with a new one. Everything on these drives is for one specific client. I have another drive for other projects.

The projects are all HDV or DVC Pro HD.

Any comments or suggestions are welcome!

Thanks,

Greg
