![]() When retrieving a piece of data they equated it to flying a jumbo jet at zero altitude and finding a needle in a haystack. When I do, I always remind myself of a description I was given once, of how a rotational hard drive works. We really shouldn’t get complacent about hard drive failures.

Backups Are Probably The Most Boring Way To Save Your Life To get protection against drive problems we need to back up all the session media only another drive or media type. Even with the Auto Backup option active, I still hit Save regularly and especially after a particularly tricky edit so even if I have a problem in the 5 minutes since the last auto backup I won’t have to repeat that tricky edit again.īut neither of these options will protect you against a hard drive blip or even failure.
