Make backups of work bins and projects on 3.5-inch diskettes at the
end of every editing or scheduling session. Then if the original Þles are
lost, the bin and project backups can be reinstalled. Batch record the
clips and stories to re-create any lost media Þles.
Backing Up Bins and Projects
NewsCutter users should back up bins and projects at the end of every
editing session to avoid losing work. If you are using AirPlay MP for
news applications, Avid strongly recommends copying important bins
and projects onto a 3.5-inch diskette at the end of each session.
Projects and bins require very little storage space and are easily saved
on 3.5-inch diskettes. Projects store general information about the job.
Bins store data about clips and stories.
The system can only play clips and stories if the associated media Þles
with the digital video and audio information are online, but media
Þles require too much storage space to be stored on 3.5-inch diskettes.
However, if the original Þles are deleted or corrupted, you can copy
the projects and bins from the backup diskette onto the Avid system
drive and then batch record to create new media Þles.

You must have the original source footage to batch record; you cannot
rerecord clips that originated from a feed unless you record the feed to tape.
The easiest method is to copy the entire Project folder to the 3.5-inch
diskette.
1. Insert a formatted 3.5-inch diskette into the diskette drive.
n
On multichannel AirPlay MP systems, make sure you insert the diskette in
the diskette drive for the channel that has the material you want to back up.
2. Double-click the Avid Projects folder.
3. Drag the appropriate project folder to the diskette icon.
