In a world where production teams depend on seamless collaboration and real-time media access, downtime isn’t just inconvenient; it’s costly. A single outage caused by a storm, flood, or power failure can grind production to a halt, delay delivery timelines, and jeopardize valuable client relationships.

That’s why EditShare’s FLOW Disaster Recovery system exists: a feature that mirrors your primary FLOW site and allows you to get back online fast. Within minutes, not hours or days. 

It’s not an archive or long-term storage system; it’s a real-time continuity solution designed to keep your creative teams working when disaster strikes.

Why Disaster Recovery Matters for Media and Production Teams

Video production workflows are complex. They depend on shared storage, media asset management systems, and hundreds of interconnected files. When disaster hits, whether physical damage to a facility, network failure, or regional outage, teams risk losing access to projects, metadata, and proxy media.

Without a disaster recovery strategy, you face:

• Extended downtime during which editing and collaboration stop completely.
• Lost or corrupted assets that disrupt version control and delivery schedules.
• Damaged client trust due to missed deadlines and incomplete recoveries.

With FLOW Disaster Recovery, your team gains peace of mind knowing your entire production environment is mirrored and ready to take over at a moment’s notice.

What Makes FLOW Disaster Recovery Different

Unlike traditional data backups or archives that only store static copies of your files, FLOW Disaster Recovery maintains a fully synchronized, live replica of your FLOW system, including Media Spaces, proxies, thumbnails, transcriptions and the database.

If a natural disaster, power outage, or hardware failure takes your main system offline, the secondary FLOW environment can be activated swiftly. Within minutes your team can reconnect and resume editing, reviewing, and managing assets from wherever they are.

This isn’t a “cold” backup. It’s an emergency retrieval that ensures business continuity for media production without data loss or workflow disruption.

FAQ: Adobe Premiere Pro with EditShare and Helmut FX

Every movie or TV episode involves dozens of companies, some of which are really small and think they can’t afford enterprise-grade security tools like MediaSilo.

These teams use unsafe business practices, with lean teams working too quickly, and, whether by intent or by accident, a leak occurs. The leak both publicly embarrasses their client and ends their business relationship with said client.

Content leaks like this aren’t rare. In a cloud-connected, always-on industry, video files move faster than ever across devices, networks, and continents. But when security lags, a single exposed link or unauthorized login can jeopardize months of production and millions in revenue.

That’s why forward-thinking post-production teams are turning to secure collaboration software like MediaSilo, the cloud-based video feedback tool designed to make creative collaboration effortless and secure.

You, yes you, can afford it! And it won’t slow you down.

The Rising Threat of Content Leaks

In recent years, the number of data and content breaches has skyrocketed. For post-production teams managing sensitive, pre-release content, the stakes couldn’t be higher. A single leak doesn’t just spoil a premiere; it can fracture client relationships and result in significant financial losses.

Common threats include:

• Unauthorized access to shared drives or cloud storage
• Accidental sharing of pre-release cuts
• Ransomware or phishing targeting creative teams
• Leaked screeners or assets spread via unsecured review links

The good news? Modern collaboration tools can help prevent these threats if they’re built with security at their core. That’s exactly what MediaSilo delivers.

What Makes MediaSilo Different

Unlike traditional file-sharing tools or generic review platforms, MediaSilo was built specifically for media and entertainment teams that handle sensitive, high-value content. The platform combines secure post-production collaboration with intuitive video review and approval software, enabling teams to increase productivity without sacrificing control.

Why QC Matters More Than Ever

A single missed frame or out-of-sync audio can disrupt your production schedule, increase costs, and damage your brand reputation. Which is why quality can’t be negotiable in your media workflow.

Whether you’re delivering corporate communications, streaming a live sports event, or producing binge-worthy content, your audience expects flawless results. A single technical glitch, like corrupted frames or the wrong color space, can erode trust and cost you money.

The challenge? Media teams are under tight deadlines, working with huge file sizes, and often spread across multiple locations. Manually checking every file is unrealistic. That’s why automated quality control (QC) is no longer optional, but essential.

With FLOW, EditShare makes quality control seamless, integrating powerful QC solutions directly into your workflow so every piece of media is checked, verified, and ready for delivery, without slowing you down.

Why Quality Control is Critical for Media Teams

• Brand Reputation – Poor-quality content affects credibility and trust.
• Compliance – Broadcasters, OTT platforms, and corporate networks have strict delivery specs.

When you build QC into your workflow, you protect your production pipeline and ensure your team focuses on creativity, not troubleshooting preventable errors.

The Role of QC in a Modern Media Workflow

Today’s workflows aren’t confined to a single edit suite or on-prem server. Teams work remotely, pulling content from shared storage, and delivering across multiple platforms. 

Without a robust QC process:

• Errors can slip through during ingest, transcoding, or distribution.
• Remote teams may never catch problems until final delivery.
• Archives risk being filled with faulty or incomplete assets.
  

That’s where FLOW Automation + QC integration steps in.

FLOW integrates with solutions like Interra Baton QC and QScan to deliver AI-driven quality checks without leaving your MAM environment. You’ll get:

• Detailed PDF reports linked to your media assets.
• Automated pass/fail indicators.
• Complete visibility on QC status across all projects.
• QC Analysis Markers per asset in FLOW  (QScan Only)

3. Remote Access for Review & Approval

Using FLOW, your QC results, proxy previews, and reports are accessible from anywhere. This means:

• Distributed teams can approve or flag assets in real time.
• No more emailing large files or waiting for uploads.
• Faster turnaround for time-sensitive projects.
  

Best Practices for QC in Media Workflows

• Automate everything possible – QC should run in the background without slowing your team down.
• Integrate QC at ingest – Catch issues before they cascade into your edit timeline.
• Standardize QC templates – Define presets for different delivery platforms.
• Monitor reports centrally – FLOW’s searchable reports make compliance tracking easy.
• Combine QC with metadata tagging – Easier tracking for future audits or re-delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Every production team, whether a small workgroup or a global facility, needs storage that keeps media safe and available. The kind of protection you need depends on scale. That’s why EditShare EFS uses two layers of redundancy:

• RAID 6 inside each node for intra-drive-level protection in smaller setups
  
• XOR parity distributes data and parity blocks across multiple nodes, enabling recovery from the complete failure of a single node

This approach ensures you get the right balance of efficiency, performance, and resilience at any size.

Protection for Small Teams: RAID 6

On a single node, EFS uses RAID 6. This means your system can survive two drive failures in that node without losing access to your media. For many small teams, that’s enough resilience to keep projects moving while drives are swapped out.

Protection for Large Teams: XOR Across Nodes

When you grow into three or more nodes, EFS adds cluster-level protection. This is where XOR parity comes in.

XOR (short for Exclusive OR) is the math behind parity. It works by comparing blocks of data across drives and recording a checksum. If one drive or even an entire node is lost, the system can rebuild the missing data by recalculating it from the remaining blocks.

In EFS, this means:

• The cluster can tolerate the failure of a full node, in an EFS 310 deployment up to 16 drives, without taking your media offline.
• Your system doesn’t lose a heartbeat, nor does it lose bandwidth, as we have calculated that level of protection into the bandwidth numbers we provide you.
• Recovery is faster than with traditional RAID because data and parity are spread across multiple nodes, reducing stress on any single drive.
  

Why Not Mirroring?

Mirroring works by duplicating everything, which is simple but expensive,  you lose half your storage capacity to redundancy. At the Petabyte scale, that cost adds up quickly. EFS gives you stronger protection without wasting space.

Bottom Line

For small systems, RAID 6 keeps your media safe at the drive level. As you scale, XOR parity across nodes takes protection further, guarding against node failures while maintaining performance and efficiency.

With EFS, you don’t have to rethink storage as you grow; resilience and linear bandwidth scale with you.
