Don’t Forget To Consolidate And Back Up Your Projects! 😫🖥🔨
What would you do if your computer was stolen or ruined?
Barring the financial considerations of buying a new computer, could you recover quickly?
If I were to lend you my own computer, could you rebound and save the game?
If you couldn’t, please pay attention, for the sake of your music!
Recover From Problems With Project Backups
(Page 24, Logic Pro X For Dummies)
I’m a backup fanatic.
I back up all my computers using Apple Time Capsule, built-in Time Machine software, and a few rotating external drives. I also back up my entire computer offline using Amazon S3 cloud storage.
But wait, there’s more…
I sync my current projects using Dropbox so I can work on them at multiple computers.
Logic Pro X also creates project backups every time you save your project. As long as you have Show Advanced Tools selected in the Advanced Preferences pane (see Chapter 1), you can revert to an earlier saved version of your project.
Every time you save your project, a backup is made. You can revert to these backs by choosing File > Revert To. A list of your time-stamped project backups allows you to go back in time to a previously saved project. This feature saves you when you try things out that you don’t like or make mistakes while working.
Find out more about autosaving your hard work, creating options with project alternatives, and saving time with project templates in Chapter 2 of Logic Pro X For Dummies.
And please, don’t forget to consolidate and back up your projects! 😫🖥🔨
