Easy 3 Step Backup
1. Select Media Source
2. Setup Backup Destinations
3. Start Backup
It’s even quicker next time you use that media as YoYottaID remembers your Backup volumes and folders.
Built in Project and Metadata Store
All media metadata is stored in a local database. Use YoYottaID to catalog your drives, volumes and tapes.
Search for Assets
YoYottaID stores full media metadata including codec, resolution, duration. It’s quick to locate media and you can see where it’s stored. Open a virtual folder showing all the media from your search in one place. Make PDF reports from searches, handy to give the producer a list of shoot durations for all media types.
Simple Media Management
YoYotta’s software runs on Apple Mac hardware. On a production use a MacMini or Retina MacBook Pro. Use an iMac or MacPro in a cutting room or post house. Connect using USB3 to Media Readers and Thunderbolt to RAID storage. Receive email alerts, create PDF Reports, ensure file permissions are set correctly.
Fast and Secure
As soon as camera cards or drives are connected they will appear on the left in the Media table. Source drives are mounted read-only preventing accidental erasure. YoYottaID calculates an MD5 checksum whilst copying and then verifies against this without any slowdown. See how long the backup will take. When completed the green ticks show that all is correct and a PDF report will keep an audit of the files copied.
Multiple Media and Backups
Cards can be copied to multiple Backup destinations simultaneously. Copy multiple cards at once, or add them to a card for sequential backup. Limited only by the speed of connected storage. Stop an import and pickup later. Span large backups across multiple volumes, disks and tapes.
Unlimited backup size
Start a large backup or archive that won’t fit on a single volume. YoYottaID will intelligently fill each volume without splitting shots. Keep adding volumes until the backup is complete. The reports and the database will keep track of where the shots are archived.
YoYottaID LTFS will span the backup across multiple tapes.
YoYottaID Automation makes it even easier using an HP Tape Library to backup your SAN without needing to manually swap tapes.
Independent Verify
Each backup is now independently verified. This reduces the verify time.
Media cards can now be ejected and removed as soon as verifying starts.
Organise your Media
YoYottaID can make consistent folders based on Project, Day, Date, Camera and Media names. This will make life easy throughout your project. v2 has more flexible tokens for folder names. Presets are automatically recalled for different camera types.
Reporting
YoYottaID creates a PDF report and this can be automatically emailed to all team members without needing to setup any email software. The report contains the media checksums for future reference along with media codec, duration and resolution. This metadata is also in the database and stored as extended attributes in the file directory.
Selective Import
The client brings their slow USB2 drive into your Post House. You need all the DPX and ArriRAW files in your grading suite right now. The trouble is the files are all over the drive and there are loads of other file types that you don’t need.
When you connect a drive YoYottaID will show all the file types. Select the ones you need and YoYottaID will quickly transfer just those. They won’t just be dumped into one folder, the original folder structure will be preserved on the destination. Also YoYottaID knows about sidecar files, so for example if you select MOV you will also get THM, if you select R3D you will also get RMD.
Preview selected files
Here you can easily see that there are about 5 mins of MOV files on the shuttle drive. Hit the space key and then YFS will show you all those files in a single Finder window.
YFS (YoYotta File System)
YoYottaID can create a virtual file system called YFS showing your search results. Here we see all of the movies on the shuttle drive virtualised into one convenient folder.
Smart Queue
If you need to copy multiple high speed cards to the same RAID, then it’s often quicker to process them sequentially rather than simultaneously. But this would mean waiting for each backup to complete.
YoYottaID will offer to add the backups into a queue. So you can walk away and let it get on, letting you know as each completes.
LTFS Archiving Options
YoYottaID LTFS create archives to two standalone LTO drives. Quickly create industry standard archives in the LTFS format on LTO5 or LTO6 tapes. YoYottaID names, formats, mounts and repairs tape archives.
YoYottaID Automation adds control of up to four drives and an HP, IBM, Quantum or Tandberg Tape Library.
Both the LTFS and Automation options remember the health and contents of every tape created so later on you can search to find the location of shots.
