Part of the Fix It In Post toolkit
One question, answered with proof: is this card safe to format? Back Up Pup finds your camera card, checks every drive on your desk for the footage, and tells you plainly whether it is really backed up. No more formatting on faith.
- Pay once, no subscription
- Runs on your Mac
- Checksum proof, not vibes
What it does
- Finds the card itself. Camera cards are auto-detected the moment you plug them in.
- Checks everywhere. One click sweeps every other drive, plus your internal disk, looking for copies of the card’s footage.
- Calls out false security. Copies that only exist on your internal disk are flagged: that is not a real off-disk backup.
- Proves it byte for byte. A fast name-and-size check for speed, and a full SHA-256 verify when you want certainty.
- Fixes the gaps. Anything missing gets backed up in one click.
- Keeps receipts. Scan history you can export, so you know what was verified and when.
Why it is different
Offload tools copy cards. Back Up Pup answers the question you actually ask at midnight after a wedding: is this footage already safe somewhere else? It verifies what exists, shows what is missing, and fills the gap. It is priced for solo shooters, not DIT carts.
In development Back Up Pup is in daily use on real shoots and being prepared for release.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from Hedge or ShotPut Pro?
Those are offload tools: they copy from card to drive with a receipt. Back Up Pup verifies what has already happened across every drive you own, catches footage that never made it, and backs up the difference.
Does it delete anything?
Never. It reads, verifies and copies. Formatting stays your decision, made with the facts in front of you.
Does it work with any camera?
Yes. It detects standard camera card structures and works at the file level, so the brand of camera does not matter.
