one master drive - backup at the end of each session to safety drive.

Every time I'm going to make a significant change, say rendering ea tracks, save as a new file name. For example, when tracking I go through 1.0, 1.1 etc then day 2 is 2.0, 2.1 and so on. When mixing, its the same except when I print a mix, I then go to the next session number (eg print mix "my song mix 1.7", then if that's a mix for client approval, if they want changes I'll immediately save as 2.0 and carry on. That way, if they prefer something from an earlier mix, its easy to find and import or reference. Hope that's clear!
