If you’re working with a network database with DaVinci Resolve server, here’s some great tips to help you automate your project library backups.
Remember, this is only if you’re using network project library. Not the default disk database or Blackmagic Cloud.
By using a downloadable script and a few quick tasks, you’ll be able to set your project libary to backup to a user-specified location at regular intervals.
