What should I use to back up my Pro Tools sessions?
-Digidesign does not qualify any one style of file back up.*
CD-R, DVD-RAM, and Tape Backup are just a few of the
options.
-CD-R's are probably the most common method, however will
only store approximately 650-700mgs. Some are
re-recordable.
-DVD-RAM's can hold up to 5.2 gigs and are re-recordable.
-Tape Backup systems (various types) are capable of storing
40+ gigs and are re-recordable.
-You should never back up your audio in "Compression" mode. Use a "Native" mode.
-Any system that can backup/restore SDII or other compatible
files will work.
-Check with manufacturers regarding their systems for
capacity and other specifications.
*Back up & restoration software & hardware will vary in their features, specifications, and results depending upon
their speed, capacity, and error checking/correction capabilities.
