How to Build a Rock-Solid Backup Workflow for Your DAW (Without Going Crazy)

How to Build a Rock-Solid Backup Workflow for Your DAW (Without Going Crazy)

Let’s be honest: backups are about as exciting as dusting your studio monitors or alphabetizing cables. But nothing will make you scream into the void faster than losing a session you swear you saved. In this episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris & Jody grab you by the shoulders and lovingly scream, “BACK UP YOUR STUFF!”

They dive into backup options from “cheap but risky” to “Fort Knox for audio nerds.” Drives, RAIDs, clouds, offsite bunkers—okay, maybe not bunkers, but close. You’ll hear their own cautionary tales, including technical ghosts that haunted their studios and files that pulled Houdini acts at the worst possible moment.

The guys break down how they organize projects, why simple habits beat complicated systems, and how to build a backup routine that doesn’t feel like flossing. It’s equal parts education, comedy, and therapy for anyone who’s ever lost a take.

And yes, Friday Finds is here to save the day with tools that keep your sessions safer than your last ex’s Netflix password.
