Do you keep/backup everything?

[EaglEye]

Hey guys, I was wondering if everyone of you keeps all there video's on there hard drive once you've uploaded them or do you just delete them when they are 'done'?

I keep everything, just bought a NAS server to store everything of music, files and offcourse also my created vids. Could be useful later on

I wish I did but I had to delete after uploading to clear space. I might go through and download the videos off YouTube though and store them

I keep all my vids on a hard drive, just in case some error comes across and deletes a video, or maybe some day I might want to make a video where I go back in time

I save it to an external hard drive... including some project files

Yes I have everything on a drive.. ready to go.

I've been wondering this same question for a while now, granted I've been saving all my videos/related video files on an external I have. Now, I just keep the original source files(if I never want to reuse some of the footage) and the final video. I used to keep the movie editing program files, but I started to wonder what's the point when am I really going to re-edit this file. So, most recently I made the decision to not keep editing files that I've had for more than a month. If I haven't edited during that time, I don't think I ever will and delete.

I burn my project files along with the video to DVD's after I upload them..

 

[GafferGames]

I always delete my videos once uploaded, cause if I didn't FRAPS would have my Hard Drives full after 20 videos

I keep all my final video files. I have a total of 5.5TB of external hard drive space right now that I store everything on. I do delete the raw gaming files after I've finished editing/rendering my videos because those AVI files Fraps creates just take up too much room.

I don't keep copies of the finished videos, just the project files.
