	Re: ProMAX ONE: Looking at the Hero by Bob Zelin on Jun 24, 2012 at 9:46:56 pm in the COW - Tutorials Forum This is such a great article. I fell in love with the new ProMax Win7 PC at NAB. And it's really NOT expensive - you would pay $5000 - $6000 just for a high quality 8 bay RAID array and controller card, making the computer portion between $2000 - $3


	Re: Avid Archiving Assistance by Ricky Barrow on Jun 22, 2012 at 4:39:56 pm in the AVID Forum Tom, We have the identical setup and workflow - (Avid versions, Facilis) except we are basically tapeless and our core files are P2. We do not have LTO as backup. I have read numerous articles and as you am struggling with workarounds on top of work


	Avid Archiving Assistance by Tom Nelson on Jun 22, 2012 at 3:33:08 pm in the AVID Forum I've also posted this in the Archiving forum, but I think I've got most of my issues resolved except for the ones that are Avid-related. Hence, I'm posting it here. I recently posted a query about a searchable database for Access, as part of our

	Epic .R3D support? by Jason Kalinoski on Jun 22, 2012 at 3:04:14 pm in the CatDV Forum Any chance for Epic .R3d support in Catdv? I use CatDv to build preview movies of our RED footage prior to it getting archived to LTO tape. We used to just import the proxies from our RED One, but Epic does not generate proxy files...I know w


	Re: What is the BEST WAY TO ARCHIVE OLD PROJECTS and related media? by Jack Guthrey on Jun 22, 2012 at 2:59:23 pm in the Adobe Premiere Pro Forum No doubt LTO is the best option for "true" archiving. I'd look for a device that supports LTFS. Not only do you gain more open support as it is not proprietary, you can mount a tape and see your files just like a big 'ol flash drive. Archive and rest


	Cache-A or EditShares Ark? by Alison Huckett on Jun 22, 2012 at 2:27:09 pm in the Archiving and Back-Up Forum It's time to update our archive and back up system from DLT to LTO and I've been considering either EditShares Ark (as we have an EditShare server already) or Cache-A. Having had problems with Quantum's web-based system for our DLTs, I really like

I took a look at the new v2.1 manual and noted the new section on 'Cleaning'. There is no reference to any procedure that needs to be init


	Re: Backup of drives using Supershare and Metalan by chris karcher on Jun 21, 2012 at 3:59:01 pm in the CalDigit Forum We have a similar HDPRo 24 SAN. I most say the entire system works amazing well- and it's wicked fast. We've looked a Cache-A and Storage DNA for backup/archive. We just purchased the Storage DNA product and will be installing next week. For


	Re: Cache-A Tape Catalog Errors -- Occurence Increasing in Frequency by Tom Goldberg on Jun 20, 2012 at 11:44:55 pm in the Archiving and Back-Up Forum All LTO drive models can be cleaned with an LTO Universal Cleaning Tape. Do not attempt to use swabs or other manual cleaning methods. We use Fuji, but Sony, Maxell and TDK are all LTO approved manufacturers - LTO tapes with other branding are made

	Re: H264 for Archiving to server? by Tom Barton-Humphreys on Jun 20, 2012 at 3:03:33 pm in the Compression techniques Forum Hi Geo I can't speak for editing Avid as we use FCP7... editing h.264 is not an option. As far as I know, if you transcode from say, ProRes to h.264 you won't save any significant space unless you lower the data rate - which would mean you lose qu

	Re: What is the BEST WAY TO ARCHIVE OLD PROJECTS and related media? by Angelo Lorenzo on Jun 19, 2012 at 8:41:29 pm in the Adobe Premiere Pro Forum I would also add that LTO isn't that expensive. The drive itself is an investment ($2,000 for a moderately priced LTO5 drive) but the tapes themselves are slightly cheaper than a similar sized hard drive. After the initial investment, the other issue

	Re: What is the BEST WAY TO ARCHIVE OLD PROJECTS and related media? by Ryan Patch on Jun 19, 2012 at 2:08:27 pm in the Adobe Premiere Pro Forum LTO tapes are considered the industry standard. However, these are very expensive. For a small business, I would just recommend sticking to hard drives. However, use bare drives that you mount in docks instead of buying new externals every time.

I'd really like to know why/how these files are corrupt in case there is anything we can do to fix the problem in future.

I'm getting our Ark system set up and I need to figure out how many LTOs to order to sort out the backlog. I'm on LTO 5 and I'm seeing 1397GB/tape, but does that mean I can put 1397 GB of data on th

	Re: CatDV - Bru Server - LTO workflow by bryson jones on Jun 8, 2012 at 9:22:10 pm in the CatDV Forum I have to say that "taking too long" is a relative thing. How much footage, how much detail, how valuable is the footage? Right? I'm on projects now that will take years to log and that's not an issue. For instance, I've seen 2 people drop 45,0

If you are so worried about storage costs, don't over shoot! You can use a LTO tape system for your second or third set of backups rather than another RAID. You also do not have to keep ever

	Re: Large Scale Storage Solutions by Andrew Richards on May 26, 2012 at 1:59:17 pm in the Archiving and Back-Up Forum First, think past RAID arrays. They are not often the best archive platforms for 100s of TBs and up. Look at LTO-5 Libraries as well.
