#321Rule
The 321 rule is a backup strategy in editing and media production, ensuring data safety by maintaining three copies of your work in two different formats, with one of those copies stored off-site.
#EditingTips
Always keep three separate copies of your original files: one on your computer, one on an external drive, and one in a cloud service or remote storage.
#DataBackup
Store your files in at least two different formats (e.g., original files + PDF, or RAW + JPEG) to ensure accessibility and compatibility across various platforms.
#FileFormats
Store one copy in a remote location (cloud storage, external drive at a different physical location, etc.) to protect against theft, disaster, or hardware failure at your primary site.
#OffSiteStorage
The 321 rule ensures redundancy, offering a failsafe to minimize the risk of losing important files or data during editing, storage, or transfer.
#DataSecurity
Incorporate the 321 rule into your editing workflow to safeguard your creative work and avoid data loss during editing, final production, or archival processes.
