Creating a backup of an external drive (without RAID)


i have done research on , can't seem find solutions, thought ask experts here... here dillema...

 

i edit off g-raid thunderbolt 8tb drive, working on project on 4tb.  have 8tb drive want use backup, don't want set raid because want able disconnect backup drive , keep in safe place (so if office explodes have backup somewhere else).  since have on 4tb of data, don't want have copy of data backup drive everytime (which takes long time). there way connect backup drive , copy on changed , new files, without having copy on or make duplicates?  (i'm using mac os x 10.9) (copying on project file isn't solution either because cotinually adding new assets , changing old ones).  appreciated!

 

thanks

the fact the 8tb unit raid won't prevent disconnecting , storing offsite.  back-up g-raid drives.

 

as incremental back-up, pp doesn't provide faciltiy, 3rd party apps do.  new or modified files , copy those.

 

i manually back-up:  dating work , creating daily folders every project and, @ end of each session, copy day's files across.  rename pp , ae project files each day have complete history of edit cycle, , incrementally save files thoughout day, example:  rn-23-11-13_1, rn-23-11-13_2, etc. (english way of writing date!)

 

if don't want manually back-up, suggest exploring 3rd party app route.  windows provides limited back-up facility of sorts.  mac not likewise?

hello! i'm trying setup software raid on server, fail @ first step: code: root@sandnabba:/root# mdadm -c /dev/md0 -c512 -l5 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 mdadm: no raid-devices specified. what doing wrong!? are sure -c equivalent --create? also, think need space after -c , -l options, value shouldn't command, or should have = between. @ man pages mdadm , double check spelling.

hi, if developing platform independent software in linux using gtk+/gtkmm , you've managed cross compile windows, guide you. i'm posting because after researching topic myself, encountered many posts people have abandoned gtk+/gtkmm wxwidgets because of gtks ugly default appearance in windows/wine. gtk+ themeable in windows/wine gnome. have set correctly . . . here's how. guide gtkmm gtk+ similar. (1) firstly, download , install gtkmm windows using wine. (you have if have cross compiled app windows) https://live.gnome.org/gtkmm/mswindows (2) run these commands create proper directory structure. (substitute 'proj' whatever project called) mkdir ~/proj mkdir ~/proj/bin mkdir ~/proj/etc mkdir ~/proj/etc/gtk-2.0 mkdir ~/proj/lib mkdir ~/proj/lib/gtk-2.0 mkdir ~/proj/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0 mkdir ~/proj/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines mkdir ~/proj/share mkdir ~/proj/share/themes (3) move directory gtkmm installed (probably ~/.wine/drive
