Why do you give the RAW files to a client? I think the client is only
entitled to a "master", but that depends on each contract I guess. Also, it
depends on what projects you are refering to, studio sessions or what...?

In regard to backups, I use a "semi"-secure method. I have a second
computer/server with lots of GB and run automated mirroring (of my work
machine) every four hours. Finnished jobs I burn out on DVD's, and really,
that's not the "best way I think, because the DVD/CD media is too fragile in
nature. A more reliable media like tape's etc. is better I think.

All the best.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
