![]() ![]() I opened the libraries and they had all the content intact including all edits and video inspector adjustments. Ran the task and now observed the complete library file (purple icon) for each library. This time it worked! I tried the same thing I tried numerous times in the past - Created a folder (FCP Library Backups) for the destination, then created a test folder (Test) where I placed a couple FCP libraries with a few projects, some quick edits, plugins applied to a few clips, etc. UPDATE - I was about to launch a support ticket thru CCC and decided I would try one more time to create a task that would copy FCP libraries. Since you can dissect your backups to your like, Chronosync doesn’t eat up your RAM. Best of all, you will never feel the pressure on your mac. You can tell it to backup individual folders just once in a day (say the FCPX Cache folder) while versioning the most active, working folder, Projects files, every X minutes. One Carbon Copy Cloner is slow very slow and as the App title stats it is a cloner.Ĭarbon Copy Cloner is not really useful to keep track of changes in a file.ĬhronoSync on the other hand is an all-in-one app with tools for synchronizing, backups, bootable backups and cloud storage backups.Ĭhronosyc allows a more fine-tuned backup and versioning. I have used both and I strongly recommend ChronoSync. Old thread but maybe someone else has the same question. ![]() From just playing with their demos for a few days they both seem to have their pluses and minuses but wonder about real world experience backing up the FCPX, Motion, Logic, Aperture and Lightroom files that we us in projects. I was wondering if there was any advantage to using Carbon Copy Cloner or ChronoSync. Then, both the studio and home projects drives are carbon copy cloned overnight.I've just changed our backup strategy on one of our machines from Time Machine and Backups for FCPX to just Time Machine for the system files and am thinking of using either ChronoSync or Carbon Copy Cloner plus Backups for FCPX for the production drives. So at that point, the data is synced in three places, studio and home projects drives, and transfer drive that I carry with me. When I get hone I immediately (well before bed anyway) do the same comparison and sync process with my projects drive in my home based Mac Pro. I carry one drive (a Lacie Rugged) with me all the time, so it is separated from the studio environment where the projects drive is attached to the studio iMac. I can't imagine being without that app, its lets me see exactly what has changed, immediately after a session ends, alllowing me to correct any unintended alterations, deletions, overwrites etc., while also satisfying me that once I've synced the two folders I've compared are identical. Its the closest thing I've found to the similar Beyond Compare for Windows. You can rename one so the two versions are different, then sync both ways so you correctly have both the previous and current iterations of the file. or as I do on a daily basis, select what I want to copy from one side to another manually, from the different or new files it identifies.ĭeltawalker is perfect for identifyng and retrieving those previous versions of project files you accidentally overwrote before renaming them. ![]() I use Deltopia's Deltawalker for comparison of two folders/drives, it can be set to only show differences, and then allow you you automatically sync everything, or only selected items, in both directions. The uncorrupted version had been deleted automatically to make room when the disc was getting full. When I found a corrupted project file, that I hadn't worked on for a while, I found all the backup versions still available in the time machine were also corrupted. I got badly stung years ago by a time machine ditching older backup data automatically to make way for newer stuff. And set NOT to automatically prune archive content when the disc gets full, but instead to warn you to do something about it. especially when set to backup older files to an archive folder before copying the new version. I use Carbon Copy Cloner for unattended automatic scheduled backups. ![]()
