Re: How do you guys back up your work?
I use the 3-2-1 method of backing up my work. That's 3 copies in 2 different file formats, with 1 stored offsite. I guess it's slightly outdated in the age of cloud sync but on the other hand you (...)

Re: What does your production schedule look like?
@Sabaoth I have very thoroughly read that guide and a few others, actually. I may have only joined yesterday but I've been lurking here for a bit now. Originally it was to help a friend who's been posting (...)

New in town
