In his case, it is much more efficient to do manual backups, choosing
exactly what to copy and when.
They are quite large files. Even if you only change the name of a video
file sized one gigabyte, the incremental backup program will save a full
copy of that file, for instance. The next day he edits the tittles of an
scene, and bang, it would save the whole file again.
If the video editing takes, say, a week, he may backup the huge temporary
files to another internal disk, temporarily, and then save the final
product to the final media and/or permanent backup. A typical automated
backup would save useless terabytes of data.
