Two separate backups to know about
A video backup and a Merceq library backup aren’t the same thing. Videos you transfer to a second disk are separate physical copies. Your library backup keeps your decisions, notes, tags, and workflow organisation; it doesn’t contain the video files themselves. You should protect both separately.
Detailed usage steps: 2. Import your footage, 8. Export your selections, 9. Back up and restore your library.
