Media Backup Index for Creators
Build a backup application for photographers and video editors that does more than copy files: it maintains a searchable inventory of every verified copy across external drives and cloud storage. The strongest value is confidence around deletion, restore, and archive discovery when drives are offline most of the time.
이것이 중요한 이유
You shoot large projects, offload footage, and then spread copies across whichever SSDs and archive drives are available. Weeks later, you can no longer remember which drive has the only complete version, whether cloud upload finished, or whether it is safe to clear the laptop. Traditional backup utilities confirm a copy in the moment, but they do not give you an enduring map of your archive. What you really need is confidence: a system that can tell you where every file exists, whether the copies are verified, and which source is safest to restore from when a drive fails.

- Build local file scanner that stores path, size, modified time, and checksum in SQLite
- Add removable-drive identity model so the app can recognize drives when reconnected
- Create searchable UI showing which files exist on which destinations
- Implement basic copy-plus-verify workflow from source folder to one local destination
- Add redundancy status labels such as single copy, verified duplicate, and restore-ready
- Integrate one cloud target such as Backblaze B2 or S3-compatible storage
- Implement restore flow that chooses best available source and validates integrity after restore
- Add safe-delete workflow gated by user-defined replication threshold
- Create dashboard for missing drives, stale backups, and failed verifications
- Ship trial licensing, analytics, and onboarding for sample project import
차별화
실패 가능 요인
자가 반박 — 가장 중요한 신뢰 신호
- 1The niche may be real but too narrow if most users are satisfied with general backup tools plus manual habits.
- 2Trust is hard to win in backup software; one visible restore failure could end word-of-mouth growth.
- 3A lifetime-pricing expectation from early adopters may clash with the ongoing support burden of cloud integrations and OS updates.
근거 요약
AI가 이 인사이트를 합성한 방법 — 직접 인용 없음
The discussion showed repeated enthusiasm for one core capability: knowing where files are across many disconnected drives. Roughly five commenters highlighted relief from instantly recognizing old drives and verified copies, while multiple remarks linked this to prior loss or fear of accidental deletion. The problem appears acute in media-heavy workflows where storage is fragmented and mistakes are expensive.
