It’s that backup time again.

It’s time to backup again if you haven’t done so since last month. Here’s another backup perspective from the Conigs blog.

It’s January 1, 2011! Happy new year to all. If you don’t currently have a backup plan then why not make a regular onsite and offsite backup plan one of your New Year’s Resolutions!

Here’s a monthly reminder so if you haven’t backed up in a while, get to it.

A monthly backup of your system should be a minimum (hence these reminders) so you might consider something like CrashPlan for automated backups. I’ve been using it for a couple of months now and like it so far. The next thing I need to test is restoration as a backup is only as good as being able to get the info back.

Here’s a reminder that it’s the first of the month: If you haven’t backed up your system in a while then do it today!

So it looks like DaVinci Resolve for Mac may be shipping soon. Blackmagic has posted a configuration guide (pdf link) so it must be getting close. Of course you’ll want your Mac freshly backed up before you install it.

A friendly reminder that you should backup your system on a regular basis.

The new Avid Media Composer 5.0 is scheduled to ship mid-June so be sure and backup your editing system before doing any big software update or install.

It’s always a good idea to backup before you install a big release like the new Adobe CS5 Production Premium.
