You NEED to be BACKING UP your data!

Managing data as a video creator has its challenges, not the least of which is the sheer amount of data you're dealing with. In this tutorial we discuss best practices for acquiring and backing up your data.
This is one in a three-part series on data management, so be sure to check out the other two videos once they are released.
All camera footage (aka non-screen recordings) in this video was shot on the Panasonic GH5: www.amazon.com/dp/B01MZ3LQQ5/...
With a Voigtlander 25mm f0.95: www.amazon.com/dp/B00IGQV17Q/...
Here's the equipment I use regularly to make my videos: www.amazon.com/shop/bluemantl...
These are Amazon Associate links. If you're interested in buying some of this equipment, following these links and buying from there won't cost you anything extra, but will allow me to receive a small commission, giving me the opportunity to continue making creative videos.

More tutorials, Matt. I dig it.

[@BlueMantleFilms]

Thanks, Matt! I've got a ton in the works. I don't remember what line of work you're in...is it video-related?

[@SkonrokkenTV]

Great vids keep them coming!

[@catholichack]

Super helpful, thank you!

[@BlueMantleFilms]

Thanks, Joe! Glad it can help. I think next week's on file organization will be even more helpful, as I get into some practical ways to easily keep track of projects and data.

Looking forward to more man, especially how your organise. Something I still struggle with

[@BlueMantleFilms]

Awesome! I've already filmed the organization video, currently working on editing it. Thanks for checking out this video. Are there other questions you have/suggestions for things you'd like to know about? I'm going to be making tutorials pretty regularly, so it'd be awesome to hear from you and others what you're interested in learning about. I should give the caveat, though, that I'm constantly learning as well. I've been making videos/films for many years, but there's so much that I'm still learning!

[@lochmenzies-risingdawnfilm9194]

Blue Mantle Films same boat as you, always learning. I guess just how you organise your projects and your process of elimination. I have a process that’s just come naturally but I know there has to be some time saving tips out there. Cheers

Great video, when will you be releasing the third video in this series?

[@BlueMantleFilms]

I don't have any plans to. :-( These two videos took a long time and got mostly negative response (I lost a bunch of subscribers when I released them...I guess they were too boring?) and at the time I was doing a KZbin workshop where I was told "cut the losers, promote the winners". These two videos, in terms of our overall goal of growing the KZbin channel, were losers unfortunately. I didn't think it was worth deleting the videos, but I did decide to not keep going with the third video. At least for now. I still think there's value in the info I wanted to share in that video, but I think I need to find a more engaging way of sharing that info.

Thanks for the info? So do you ever actually download anything to the computer harddrive? or always on portable hard drives?
