 Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel Daniel Rosal here. So I wanted to do for today's video a amateur hour Explanation of backing up videos or just a really simple workflow if you happen to have a network attached storage device I'm using the Synology DS920 plus on my network which Synology Kindly dispatched to my home about 18 months ago and What I'm just using this for is the most simple workflow So I just want to talk about that for a second now The reason I'm calling it amateur hour and simple is because If you're really doing video back or properly you're gonna be backing up your original clips You're gonna be backing up the titles the transitions the sound effects everything's gonna be backed up now That's fine. If you're working on a documentary or a movie or something professional All I'm doing is backing up my renders Output source files. So take this clip that I just did for a video demonstrating the various GPU rendering profiles on Cade and live, right? So I have one video clip. That's this mp4 file I have an audio clip and I have a transition and It's a 10 second clip. I then rendered that out So basically what I'm backing up is just this currently it's just the rendered I put the source files If there's anything that's nice for b-roll I might be able to use I've just signed up for a site called Pond 5 So I'll put that in a separate folder, but then I'll nuke I'll nuke the archive I'll just get rid of it To save space on my computer basically. So that's my current approach and because there's nothing really that wonderful I'm shooting at the moment. So I'm just taking this and backing it up. Now what I'm doing I'll just bring over my NAS here is Here's my NAS. I just have a few folders take this first entry folder on my On the the home page of DSM. I'm just gonna burn my OPS up here And what you can see is I'm just dumping in for instance the FLVs are would that would be the raw I put from OBS and then if I edit the video clips I'm rendering out to mp4. So if you take Let's go for the aftermath of forest fires. I can actually watch them on the NAS, which is quite nice Okay Great. So this is my clip on the NAS now I'm also having so that's number one. I put it onto a folder now What are these folders? Well, I created a few volumes on the NAS one was for raw clips So I do have one if I'm going to start backing up my if I do want to actually back up the raw clips But the other one that's just called rendered clips Then I put out some shortcuts drop those on the desktop and that way you can just do a little plug If I go to my let's say first entry I'm just gonna go my desktop here So I can just literally do a little drag and drop. So let's take my test render project I can just drop it in this is gonna upload in a millisecond. There you go It's done already and that's it. I just make sure it's on the NAS Now the second thing I would be doing I'm doing is I'm using a this program called cloud sync And I'm automatically syncing that she on pause at the moment, but usually usually it's running. I'm syncing in between the That volume and b2 back plays b2 cloud storage cloud object storage It also does s3 cloud sync personality does probably a bunch of different backup sources cloud sync Synology I'm sure it does it does the cloud sync package. You can find the information there about it Um on the internet. I'm just bringing that over here. Synology cloud sync easily connector. Synology NAS of cloud services Back plays b2 dropbox google drive microsoft one drive and other places as well aws azure open stack So you've got really the the kind of pick of the crop So I have a rule set up that's also doing a cloud sync From that local folder so that you've off-site backup because if the first backup first backup rule is 3 2 1 You want to have three data copies primary and two backups one of those backups should be off-site because if you have your video backups on the You know in your apartment and your apartment catches fire, then you're kind of screwed So what you want to do is you want to make sure one of those is off-site It can off-site can mean the cloud because aws are not going to lose your data probably Or it can mean your car so you can also use a hyper backup to back up the whole NAS Or you can use there is another program in Synology for backing up your NAS to somebody else's NAS If you happen to have another a friend with this analogy So you can use either approach you can just back up the whole thing every month and stick that in your car or stick that Well car is probably not a great idea Stick that in your aunt's apartment or your uncle's apartment or your friend's apartment. It doesn't matter It's just an off-site source and that'll get you there too Um final thing to say is final thing. Okay final thing to say is this I'm just going to bring over my youtube account here. You can see my my videos are flying off the shelves here now Some people say oh, yeah, here's here's how you back up your youtube account, right? I might have said this in the past I don't think I did in any way to poor man's approach You can just click on this and click on the download button and you'll get your Backup of backup backpack options for their own in sc Now that yeah, you'll get it back up that way. You can also do a google takeout But you're going to be getting a compressed version. This is not going to release the original file Because this is 20. I know this for a fact for this one. This is only 23 megs I think it was something like 400 When I went in you're going to get that backup after google's compression Therefore you're going to lose quality. So what you want to do is back up your original renders, whatever you're using for editing da Vinci Caden live etc You want to back up the original files and you don't want to do you don't want to back them It's better than doing nothing to back them up out of youtube by you by either doing that manual download approach Or doing something like google takeout, but it's not preferable. You definitely want to preserve the quality and keep those originals So that's my little backup approach for the moment.
