Yeah, I learned (or so I thought) from a previous crash, and my present system has three internal SCSI 80 GB hard drives with which I back up all my programs and data on one drive and my completed video and animation projects on the third. When I render for animations and edit in Adobe Premiere, I do it in uncompressed format so I can add special effects, etc. to the final, and I do it on the external RAID drive so things process faster. Unfortunately, I didn't have back up to the RIAD unit, although now I certainly wish I would have. I could have reconsidered storing some of finished video and animations that I've done in the past on one of the internal drives, but that didn't seem like a good idea at the time, and there was not enough space left to store a working backup of the Godzilla animation, although if I ever get over this heartbreak and try a project this complex again, I'll certainly maintain a working backup somewhere somehow.

Should've, would've could've. Live and learn.

I'll get around to posting some still shots, of course they won't have all of the nifty FX (fire, smoke, explosions, etc.) that the postworked finals had.
