Backups: Powerful Backup and Media Management for FCPX
>> This App provides sophisticated means to back up Projects and Events at periods which you define. The option is also given to copy the Project and Events with or without media.

This App provides sophisticated means to back up Projects and Events at periods which you define. The option is also given to copy the Project and Events with or without media. This is important as the means is provided to archive entire projects and media. This enhances the capabilities of Final Cut Pro X and represents an important evolution for the application.

Backups for Final Cut Pro is like Time Machine® for Final Cut Pro X®! It performs timed and manual snapshots of all your FCP X Projects and Events—only it gives you more control.

Backups for Final Cut Pro is similar to the automatic backup feature of Final Cut Pro 7—only more! Use it to back off a dead-end editing path or to recover a corrupt file.

If you are running with Mac OS Snow Leopard you need this utility! If you are running with Mac OS Lion or Mountain Lion you’ll love this utility.

What Backups does for Final Cut Pro X

• Periodically or manually backs up all your Final Cut Pro X Projects and Events as snapshots. You control how often. You control what drives to back up.

• Consolidates all your Final Cut Pro X data in one place for easy backup and archiving to additional devices.

• It gives you control. You can control how much to backup. You can control what to restore.

• Lets you restore everything from a given snapshot or selected projects, folders, or events.

• Forgot why you made a backup? Add a description to each snapshot describing why you made it. Very handy!

• You can back up just the project and event files themselves or add Media, Shared Items, or FCP X’s own Backup folders as well.

• Backs up and restores saved Motion projects in your Motion Templates folder.

• Ignores Render files. These are easily regenerated.

• Lets you move folders, projects or events across drives. You can designate what drive to restore to.

• Backups are incremental. Only changes since the previous backup operation are added to an archive.

• Lets you see a list of all your backup snapshots and how much was backed up. You can delete old snapshots.

• You control backing up Backups for Final Cut Pro’s archives to other media.

• “Safe” snapshots. Only completed snapshots are retained. Available disk space is checked before the backup begins.

• “Safe” restores. If to a local drive, replaced files are placed in the Trash—they are never deleted.

• Continually adding new features.
