How to save project on both computer and external hard drive?

When working on a project, the project is automatically saved on my computer. If something happens to the computer, I have to start all over again. I have backups of all the events, but until now I have manually taken backups of the project.

Can FCPX automatically save the project on both computer and external hard drive?
If I want to take my project to a friends computer I have to duplicate the project on the external hard drive first.

Any help, please? :)

You could take a look at this here :

Apparently you can tell it what drive to back up to!

Kind of like the old back up system in FCP Classic.

I have not used it personally so have no idea how good/bad it actually is. :cheer:

Serously, klausre? Nothing should be that advanced!

Hi, if you like to have the backup to a disk that FCPX can see, you need a solution to unmount it, so fcpx doesn't have problems whit mixed referees. This is the way it works for now. I don´t use it in this advanced mode my self;

I use CCCto backup every thing, but I use an NAS as the destination, and fcpx can´t see the NAS-disk-drive, so I just have set up an regular backup from my MAC to the NAS every-time I hit the Run in CCC Scheduler Tasks.

Here is my article, Bombich Software approved, for doing just these things with Carbon Copy Cloner.

You can also take advantage of Notifications in OS X to track your backups.
