Convivial asked a question in Data Robotics on January 15, 2009 19:25:
Near-line, fear-line, which way to go?We are setting up a Drobo for a local non-profit. I'm new to using Drobo. I'm planning on using Super Duper for my backup program. I am about to back up 4, 500 GB external HDs to a new DROBO unit. The DROBO has 4, 1 TB drives, which give me about 2.71 GB of space, given the way DROBO works.
This backup will serve as near-line storage for our client. The files on the drives are all photos, Motion, QTs , Compressor Exports & FCP projects and all associated render files, backups etc. Some of the files on a particular drive are the same, or slightly different from the exact same files on another drive. For production reasons, we had to duplicate source files. But for this backup I want to copy EVERYTHING, even if its redundant.
I have to back up the HDs one drive at a time, which means SD will have to be run 4 different times. I've read the SD guide, but am not sure which option I should use to backup all these files.
If I use Backup- all files, it seems it will delete the first batch of files I copy to DROBO. If I use copy newer or different, it seems it will NOT copy the duplicate files from a drive that I want included.
Any advise about the options/settings I should use to do this complete backup of all the 4 HDs.
Thanks!

1. We're looking to only locally share on our LAN HD video and high resolution photos and video. 2. We' already use a Mac to edit HD video and high resolution pictures? 3. as independent filmmakers and post studio we are always looking at economical means to back up our media to both long term and near line storage. We like to use as much Apple technologies as we are quite familiar since the 1st Mac. Storage solution for high resolution photos and SD/HD quality video that works in a Mac-centric workflow, economically of course. Thanks!
