Is there an easy way to do this?
I currently use 4 separate drives for organizing my sessions. One work drive off of which I'm actually running the session (record and playback), 2 internal drives and one network drive (network drive is in a different location). So after working on a session, I copy (in the finder) from the work drive to the 3 other drives. I'd like to find a way to do that with one click rather than dragging the folder manually to three separate drives. Save time, clicks and reduce the chances of a mistake. Anybody got a solution?

you probably want to backup your work drive 3 times each time to different drives and with condition to backup only files/folders created today

Before you close down your session, just click "Save Copy In..." and select the location you want to save the session.

Re: Is there an easy way to do this?
sure, but doesn't that require you repeating the procedure 3 times to go to each of the 3 backup drives? Unless, I'm missing something in what you're saying just changes 3 finder drags to 3 PT "save copy in..."'s

This: http://www.getgobbler.com/ looks promising. Slate Digital is involved I think.
Haven't tried it yet, but it is targeted to audio users.

I believe there is a backup tool that will allow you clone small file changes on demand, but the name escapes me at the moment.

Re: Is there an easy way to do this?
I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but...
I've done IT for some very large US corporations. While we backed up every night, we only did one backup to one backup device. After all, there are only 12 hours between 6:00 PM and 6:00 AM; figure in international operations and the backup window is even smaller. True, since 9/11 some companies have gone to virtually continuous backup operations, but since the cost of one minute of downtime for them is probably several orders of magnitude larger than a large studio's entire year's gross it is worth it. I've heard the "three copies" mantra so many times I could scream; I call [bleep][bleep][bleep][bleep][bleep][bleep][bleep][bleep]. Keep one copy on your "session" hard drive and back it up either post-session or nightly to an external hard drive and even a Vegas bookmaker doesn't have a calculator big enough to tell you the odds of your having a data failure. I'm on my eighth computer since 2000 (as a software developer I pretty much need the latest-and-greatest). I bring them home, I turn them on, and I leave them on. In that time I've lost one very cheap CD drive and an LCD screen in a cheap notebook...period. Please don't bother me with your horror stories; I've already read most of them here and on other forums. And I imagine just Avid gains more new users in one minute than there are all of you put together. Do whatever you want...it's no skin off my teeth. But for the rest of you, try not to let a paranoid few override your own common sense...
