Hello,
I'm trying to figure out the best way to back up my audio.
I'm curently running protools on a G4. I have approx 70 gigs recorded on my internal drive. Yesterday I bought a lacie firewire drive, and an external DVD firewire drive so I can back up to both.
My problem is some files won't copy from certain protools sessions. I get 1 of 2 error messages.
1 says the file name is too long to be copied(example: "Mastering[song name yada yada yada L.") So if I drag a group of sessions, or just 1 specific session and it gets to this specific audio file it gives the error message and quits copying.
2 says this file already exists. I don't know if this is because I drag say 10 protools sessions to be copied and in session 1 there's a file named "drumkick" but then it gets to session 5, and theres a file named "drumkick" also? Like error #1, when this error message comes up it stops copying.
I'm really confused and any feedback help would be appreciated. Thanks
