We are using cubase SX/SL3, on XP, and i set up an external Glyph drive to make back up files. my friend has been recording to tape for about 30 years, and i know a little bit about computers. when i saved the file into the glyph drive it showed up as about 160 kilobytes... which really scared me cause i dont know how on earth it could be that small. my question is 1.) how do i save a back up copy in the glyph drive that is an actual backup, and 2.) what is a ballpark file size range for a 5 minute song? also is there a way i can verify that the backups are acutally in the drive and not just pulling it out of the computer?
any help would be vastly appreciated, we are playing russian roulette, by not having those backups. THANK YOU!!!!
