Setting Up and Organizing your Protools Session

Pt 5: Backing up your work

One of the most important and basic things you should learn about the process is saving and backing up your work.  Your hard drive is the most irreplaceable piece of equipment in your studio.  You can replace gear with money but you can’t replace hours of work that you did on a session that you didn’t back up.  
​Some things you should always do to avoid losing work:

• Save frequently! Make ctr/option-s a habit!
  
• Back up on multiple external hard drives regularly
  
• Familiarize yourself with the Pro Tools auto backup function
  
• Use Cloud Storage
