Hey everyone,

I somehow got a battlefield promotion to Post Supervisor on an extremely data heavy documentary film. We have around 350TB of raw media. One set of raw media is at my office and is housed on three (3) ~160TB OWC RAIDS. Our backups, in WA state, do not have matching file names -- and are also stored on 2 or 3 large OWC RAIDS. Obviously this is not ideal, so I'm wondering if there is a utility that can simply catalog all my files and change the names of the files on the backup? Or how you might go about fixing this situation. It's A LOT of footage and would take a long time to rename everything by hand. OR we could build some sort of rack mount server down here, mirror my drives, and send it back up to WA state - bu then we'd be throwing away $15K worth of drives, though we could potentially sell them or keep for a third backup. Any advice is welcome!!!
