I have a thing about Finale backup. Being a Finale user since 1987 with v1.0 ($1,000!), I have lost a lot of Finale files. They magically disappear from current directory as well as backup volumes, and you don't notice it until you need it again, which in my case usually a few years later when I need a new arrangement for my shows.
In my case, files backed up to external HDs are equally venerable, not to mention HD shouldn't be a preferred backup media because of its limited shelf life. All the Finale files I backed up with Retrospect to tape drives are fine so far, but they are also not 100% reliable. Unfortunately I stopped using Retrospect Workgroup since I couldn't justify expensive upgrade cost and their expensive paid support when I lost two tapes. Now I backup the entire 600MB+ Finale file directory to iDisk every 5 AM automatically. I have lost no file so far :-) -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
