Terabytes. Masters. Deadlines.
The stakes of creative work are higher than generic backup tools treat them. macup is designed for projects you can't reshoot.
No card required
Built for project files that won't stop growing.
Lightroom catalogue, backed up daily — about 8 MB/day after the first pass.
Added to export time. macup yields CPU when you're rendering.
Typical Final Cut library size macup handles without choking on library packages.
A 40 GB catalogue. Edited daily. Backed up in megabytes.
Most backup tools treat a Lightroom catalogue like a 40 GB monolith and re-upload the whole thing when anything changes. macup chunks and deduplicates — so after the first backup, a day of edits costs megabytes, not gigabytes. And when the .lrcat corrupts two days before a client delivery, you scrub back to Monday afternoon's snapshot and pick up where you were.
Libraries, media pools, proxies — handled.
Pro video workflows mean giant bundle formats (.fcpbundle, Resolve project databases), external render drives, multi-terabyte media pools, and regeneratable proxies the size of a small car. macup knows what to back up (sources, project files, metadata) and what to skip (render caches, proxies the NLE can rebuild). You get fast, lean snapshots. Your disk stays under control.
Work hard. We'll wait.
macup yields CPU and network the moment your Mac needs them. Rendering a 4K export? macup pauses. 3D scene cooking? macup pauses. Export done? It catches up. You don't touch a setting. You don't wonder if backup is eating into your render time. It isn't.
Who's in macup right now.
A quiet cross-section of the working creators who keep macup running. Different disks, different deadlines, same promise.
Back up the work you can't reshoot.
