Backup

Thinking about this because the raw video from Kiersten's shoots is LARGE. I don't anticipate going back and re-editing these projects but it would be nice to keep the full quality versions somewhere. To that end I think I'd like to re-encode the raw videos to a more compressed format to keep on spinning storage, and offload the full quality files to an offline medium. Bluray discs could easily hold the raw footage and not require tons of hardware to keep up with. Some sort of convention for keeping track of where the original data lives should be devised.

I think I'll create a JSON document with a common title like COLD_STORAGE.json in directories where some original data has been offloaded to physical media. This could contain the file listing and a reference to the disc(s) where the data is. Then if it gets to the point of needing a more robust solution those could be scraped from the filesystem into some DB application
