Have you thought of doing incremental backups? These are backups where only the changed files are backedup. In many of the Enterprise setups, they do a full backup once a week. Then on a daily basis they do incremental backups. This reduce the amount of data loss to a day.
You might want to consider doing full backups once a month and weekly incremental.
In his case, it is much more efficient to do manual backups, choosing exactly what to copy and when. They are quite large files. Even if you only change the name of a video file sized one gigabyte, the incremental backup program will save a full copy of that file, for instance. The next day he edits the tittles of an scene, and bang, it would save the whole file again. If the video editing takes, say, a week, he may backup the huge temporary files to another internal disk, temporarily, and then save the final product to the final media and/or permanent backup. A typical automated backup would save useless terabytes of data. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
