Quick question for the brain trust. I'm a newbie to the board but not to the biz. Main background is in HD broadcast and TV (20 years), but I also teach film/video production at a small college. Been ASC member in the past. Working the next few weekends with 1st AC as DIT and responsible for file management for the shoot. Have a Macbook Pro and several 1TB Firewire800 / Lightning drives. For those used to working RED, wondering what the best backup workflow is for pulling 5K R3D's from Mini-Mags via a Red Station in the field? How many TBs storage should I plan for over a 48 hour shooting schedule? We've got a limited number of Mini-Mags and will have to recycle often during the weekend. Thanks for any tips to make the experience smooth with no data loss. Excited to work with RED for the first time. Best, - David
