Hello, everyone. Sorry for the off-topic post, but I can’t imagine a better place to get advice file manangement.
I work for an agency with a 5 member graphic design department. Our system for archiving has served us well since the late 90s, but I believe it’s time for something else.
Our current system is very basic: desginers copy completed jobs to a shared folder." These files are then burned to CDs, logged in FileMaker, and stored.
This has become slow and tedious as production and file size has increased. I would prefer to skip the CD-burning and just store the files on a network share. Currently, we don’t have enough space to do this.
So, I’m thinking of using one those 1-terabyte firewire drives (one will backup the other). I figure it will take us a few years to fill it up.
Would anyone mind shooting some holes in this? I want to make sure I cover all the bases.
Thanks,
Joseph
