Especially if it was work you were doing for a client \u2014 ouch!<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, Reaper offers multiple ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/promixacademy.com\/blog\/reaper-backup\/\">back up data<\/a> to reduce the risk of losing it altogether.<\/p>\n<p>One of these is by setting up a\u00a0<strong>secondary recording path\u00a0<\/strong>so that recorded files are saved to two places at once. This greatly reduces the chance of losing precious takes from a hard drive failure.<\/p>\n<p>Like all DAWs, Reaper also offers <strong>customizable preferences for saving backups<\/strong> of your whole project. You can choose to set up automatic saves every x-number of minutes. Plus, you can decide where you want to want the backups saved as well. In the project directory is a logical place, but you can choose a secondary backup location just as with recorded audio!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch Adam Steel go over his tried and true backup preferences \u2014 you&#8217;ll never lose a project again!<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI1NjAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjIzMTUlMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbSUyRmVtYmVkJTJGaU1EQ19DcmVmSTglMjIlMjBmcmFtZWJvcmRlciUzRCUyMjAlMjIlMjBhbGxvdyUzRCUyMmFjY2VsZXJvbWV0ZXIlM0IlMjBhdXRvcGxheSUzQiUyMGNsaXBib2FyZC13cml0ZSUzQiUyMGVuY3J5cHRlZC1tZWRpYSUzQiUyMGd5cm9zY29wZSUzQiUyMHBpY3R1cmUtaW4tcGljdHVyZSUyMiUyMGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbiUzRSUzQyUyRmlmcmFtZSUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Adam Steel runs the Hop Pole Recording Studio in Greater Manchester, England.
