BACK UP
I'd love to hear from anyone who is doing back ups of over 2 gig in size, what do you use (assuming you're happy with it)?

Re: BACK UP
I use Retrospect software with an AIT tape drive at work. I have backed-up up to 12 gigs using this stuff. AIT drives are fast, too. On my 9500 at work, it backs up around 90megs/second, which is incredible for a tape back up. The only drawback is cost--AIT drives are VERY expensive. Other tape drives (ie, Exabyte) will do the job also, but they are extremely slow. 12gigs on an AIT drive: about 2-2.5 hrs. 12 gigs on an Exabyte drive: 8-12 hrs.

Re: BACK UP
Excrix VXA 1 with MezzoArchiver which reads the Protools session and can read the session and backup just whats in the session even if stuff is across several drives.

Re: BACK UP
I use mezzo with datadat DDS3 tapes, slow but cost effective, I get nervous when mezzo backs up a PT session just by dragging the session ICON, sooner or later, I'm gonna get that "can't find file" warning sign that is shortly followed by the "warning: career not responding, career corrupted" sign when your client finds out

Re: BACK UP
I get 60MB/min on an Exabyte Eliant 820. That's roughly 15-20min/G (or 3-4G per hour). Exabyte tapes are 6G each and are the least expensive of anything out there (at aleast anything which holds a few gigs).
I get 150-180MB/min on an Ecrix VXA drive. VXA Tapes hold 33G and are very expensive. [This message has been edited by hrob (edited May 03, 2001).]

Re: BACK UP
I have a DVD - RAM. It seems to write about the same speed as a 4x CD burner. The only draw back is that the disks are a little pricey. A 5 gig disk is like $30. They have 9 gig, though, those are more expensive...

Re: BACK UP
I use Retrospect with a 4mm DDS drive (DAT sized tapes). I get about 2 Gb to a 90M tape. The tapes are cheap (and double as a 3-hour audio DAT) but it takes overnight to do the backup.

You obviously have a DDS-2 drive... The newer DDS-4 holds 20 gig uncompressed and backs up 18 gigs in about 45 minutes. The media cost about $35/DAT Rail ------------------ Recording Engineer
