Important- Backup Policies and Data Storage

In the new age of digital recording, audio file and session file storage has become a major issue for studios and clients. Due to this, Hilltop Recording does not guarantee the safe storage of these files.

It is the client’s responsibility to provide storage of all session files. There are two ways to do this: 1) Bring your own compatible external hard drive to the session and request for your audio and session files to be transferred. File transfer/backup time is billable at normal studio rates. 2) Authorize Hilltop Recording to burn your files to DVD at a cost of $25.00. Failure to make arrangements regarding file storage will result in your audio and session files being deleted from our drives.

Once your audio and session files have been transferred to the media of your choosing, Hilltop Recording no longer assumes responsibility for the safe keeping of this data. Hilltop Recording assumes no responsibility and makes no representation either express or implied regarding safety and replacement of any hard drives, master or other audio files, or any type of recordings.
