Session file backups
I have a lot of crashes in PT recently and so I need my session files backups. Can anyone explain why does PT doesn't make auto backups for such a long time against preferences? I've just lost a crucial part of mix
___________________ As my uploaded screenshot is pretty low res - previous auto backup was at 12:18 and PT carashed at 12.34 so there was 15 min without any backups

Re: Session file backups
any chance they went to a different folder location? I've never heard of this happening before so it's perplexing given your settings should create backups every one minute. does this only happen if you have all these crashes? as in if the session is working as normal, check your session back up folder and see if it is creating backups at the proper intervals then, BEFORE any crashes happen

Re: Session file backups
I also find sometimes that ProTools is not always backing up every minute (I'm set the same, but with 99 backups) but not able to pinpoint the scenarios where it doesn't behave, although in my case, I would say this is fairly rare (but does happen!).
What IS happening for me, is that when ProTools DOES crash, the session file backup is usually very small compared to all the other backups, and is, of course, corrupt. It seems like the actual process of doing Session File Backups is what is CAUSING ProTools to crash... I'm working on an internal cluster of 4, 4TB drives in a 'stripe of mirrors' config (basically, RAID-10) using Apple's software RAID. It's not high performance at all, but it gives me 2-out-of-4 disk redundancy. I don't need it to be high performance because I'm working from Disk Cache 99.9% of the time, and I like having big time reduncancy. Is it possible that your situation is also caused by a potential bottleneck in the OS and disk access? I'm considering my next move, which may involve a high performance 10GBit NAS... |
