A Simple File-Backup Routine for Solo Creators
Backup routines do not need to be elaborate to be useful. The goal is to reduce panic, not create another system that you avoid maintaining.

File backup becomes stressful when it depends on memory and improvisation.
What a useful routine needs
A basic system should give you:
- a repeatable ingest step
- a second copy quickly
- clear folder logic
- enough trust that you stop guessing
It does not need to be elegant to work.
The bottom line
The best backup routine is the one you will actually follow every time footage comes in. Reliability beats sophistication here.
