ARCHIVING
Once a project is done we archive it on both an A and a B drive. The A drive we keep here at the office, the B drive at Shurgard. Shurgard is a storage facility where you can rent spaces to store things, in our case our archival discs. We separate the rushes and the projects onto 2 different hard drives. The B drive can only be at Wenneker if there’s archiving happening, otherwise it has be brought back to Shurgard as soon as possible.
We never work from a project Archiving drive! If you need footage or project files you copy it over to your new project. For rushes it’s different and you can connect them to nairobi for editing.
Every first monday of the month the mediamanagers, together with the post producers, add new projects to the list and start archiving them. On this same monday, the mediamanagers will go to Shurgard and collect or bring back the B-drives. The post producers will schedule this in as repeating float booking for every mediamanager to have dedicated time for archiving projects.

To open the storage room you need a key which you can find in Liesbeth’s desk.
The mediamanagers have a Dymo labelprinter available (currently at Adele’s desk) for printing labels that we can put on new drives.
