also keeping a google doc with a list of your hard drives and the different projects that are backed up on each drive is very usefull when you are looking for a particular project amidst a dozen of drives ^^

Great information on backing up your back up to your backup! Never can be to cautious when your handling wedding footage.

How can I backup wedding videos on the kob? Unfortunately most cameras have one card slot.

Thanks for recommending BackBlaze, I like it much better than the other options out there for cloud backup.

How can I backup wedding videos on the job? Unfortunately most cameras have one card slot.

Excellent video, very detailed as always!
My concern is always on the ground, when we are filming and we remove the small card from the camera and at that moment we only have our footage in that place, I always carry a laptop with me to do the backup but it was incredible to have a more portable, safe and fast solucion.

So do you have your hard drives plugged into your computer at all times?? To do the backups

[JosephHardinFilms]

Are you still using these drives or have you opted to an SSD for your main editing drive? Also, do you have more than one copy of your archive drive/is it on Backblaze?

[stephmcopp]

Love this system! Do you have any recommendations as far as where to start to build out your system if you can't afford to invest the $600 all at once?

[williamaveryphotography]

so do you delete the files from the working and clone drive once they're in your archive drive?

[jonfraserdop]

Great video! Do you also use BackBlaze to have a cloud backup of your archive drives?

[christianwagnerfilms]

Wouldn't it make sense or give more speed advantage if you would use a SSD as a main editing drive? Or why you choose a standard hard drive?

How long have you used Backblaze? I have basically the same storage workflow but use Dropbox. But that is only 1tb and cost 100$ a year. $5 a month seems crazy cheep for unlimited storage. It almost makes me nervous it's so cheap. But I'm seriously thinking about switching now. Any way thanks for all you do on YouTube! Your channel is great and gives us starting out a lot to learn from. Keep up the amazing work!

I was wondering if i can still purchase your wedding luts. Thanks

[willwatkins]

Yeah, someone stole a hard drive of mine that had a couple's raw footage on it. They wanted a lot later than their wedding date. And I didn't have it.... :(
