As a postproduction professional, one of your primary jobs is to ensure the data integrity of the projects you are working on - essentially don't lose stuff!
Over the years we've heard hundreds of horrifying stories of data loss and unfortunately, most of them were avoidable.
In this episode of The Offset Podcast, we dive into backup and archiving strategies. We'll start out exploring the differences between a backup and an archive, why it's important to NEVER work off a client-supplied drive(s), understanding online, nearline, and offline data lifecycle states, redundancy at each state, and understanding the gear needed you'll need.
We'll also dive into an overview of LTO and why it is the best option for long-term archiving. We'll discuss LTO generations, connectivity, using LTFS as a file system, tape redundancy, and why a stack of drives is NOT a suitable replacement for LTO.
Finally, we'll discuss some business/billing implications of archiving.
