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.
two things: original dv video is si hudge backing it up on usual media
is impossible (12Gb one hour and I have 6 in work!), the best backup
there is an other dv tape if the video is important enough.
the video application uses temporary files of the same size of the
final dvd (4.5 Gb a dvd, 9 Gb for the hole files). I made 4 dvd the
same week, and need to keep the files as long as I may edit the
result. 4 x 9 Gb more
of course, no incremental is meaningfull here. If I had money enough I
would buy a raid 5 terabyte system, but it's not yet cheap enough
(will come soon, I've seen a 1Tb (2x500Gb) usb drive for €300.
but this is only temporary backup, once the final dvd is done I keep
only the video_ts folder
