Take Control Of Backing Up Your Logic Projects With This Archiving Strategy

 

Much to my own surprise, “file management” has to be one of the most requested things readers ask for when it comes to Logic.

Isn’t that something? I would’ve thought managing files would be a snooze fest. But apparently this is a topic in high demand! That just warms my geeky heart 🙂

First – I’ve actually posted several videos related to this very topic on WLPR. But obviously I haven’t done a good enough job organizing the website and channel so you can find them!

As a result, I’ve created a new YouTube playlist and Category on the website called “File Management.” That way it’s way easier to find these important videos:

Second – in today’s video let’s discuss one really important aspect of file management:

Backing up and archiving your Logic Projects.

Backing up is soooo important. Because as they say – stuff happens. Files get deleted. Hard drives stop working. Or worse…

It’s often recommended to back up your Projects in 3 locations. Typically 2 external hard drives, and one cloud solution.

But what do you do when you’re sitting on a lot of Projects and content? Juggling 3 separate backups can turn into a real pain in a hurry.

In fact, I’ve found myself in this very boat. After years of juggling hard drive after hard drive, I’m just sick of the struggle. So I decided to change my approach.

While I can’t claim to have the “perfect” backup solution in place, I think it’s the easiest way to manage Projects. But it does require a 3rd party service. And that’s Dropbox.

Check out today’s video. Maybe this archiving strategy might just make your life a lot easier. Have a better solution in place for backing up and archiving? Please, let us know in the comments below!
