RE: [FCP-L] Video Archive - What are you using?

 

We just released an Enterprise version of our Discribe Robotic Software created just for Pro Audio and Video Professionals and their workflow. The way it works is you take any Mac volume including SAN Volume(s) and drag it onto our Archive Software interface Inside our Discribe Robotic Software and we segment the Volume(s) into whatever media you selected(CD/DVD/Blu-Ray). If you have huge Video files you can select to "Span" the discs with the files broken into pieces to optimize space across Optical Media. You then load the Robotic Autoloader with blank media and it backs up the volume(s) unattended and simultaneous to as many drives as you have available. A large motion picture trailer corporation in So Cal with over 200 employees just bought a Discribe Robotic setup with the HRD 2-BluRay unit(www.homerundigital.com<http://www.homerundigital.com/>) to replace their DLT tape libraries.

Another key feature is a catalogue of the archived data is kept on discs and all the data is stored in an unencrypted standard(user selectable) format for mounting at a later date to retrieve(simple drag if need be) a file or the whole volume. The Catalogue can be searched on the Mac and then the correct disc in a backup set can be located to retrieve a single file. The beauty of this approach is the standard Optical Media format so years later when a file needs to be retrieved it can be without proprietary drivers or application. Or if you want to restore how the SAN looked years later the Robotic Autoloader can be used for a unattended restore of the complete directory structure of the volume selected or the whole backup as a snapshot of the past.

Pro video Editors have been asking us for this feature for years and we finally had the time to add it into our latest release of Discribe Robotic Enterprise v7.X

I'm using a Granite Digital dual eSATA set-up with 1.5TB Seagates.
They go on the shelf for a year and then I recycle them... after
telling the client what I'm doing. If they want it longer, I send
them a bill for the drive and buy a new one. I also back-up Edited
Masters only to some old GLYPH Drives (FW400) as a second back-up.
