Sidebar: Send in the Clones

Since going digital years ago, I've found myself developing some new archiving habits. When a program is finished, the first thing I do is make a digital clone onto a master tape for my library. Then I output another clone for delivery to my tape duplicator. I usually add one additional step that I'd like to recommend to new producers: I dub another clone of my new program onto the end of one or more of my original field tapes. Why? Why not? Since clones are identical and cost nothing more then the time to burn them, and you have extra room at the end of one of your tapes, there's no downside to having an extra copy of the master around. You can never be too safe.
