Yeah this sounds totally lame of me to do, but I was in a huge hurry to ship a batch of content I shot last night and today. So I set my camera up to dupe the video ( I normally make backups of my tapes ) and I realize it's a half hour before the overnight ship deadline at FedEx, and it's a 45 minute tape. So in a flurry of last-minute frustration I pop the tape, and get there just before they close the doors, and I shipped the content.

I insured it at $500 even though it's worth $1,800 and I asked the lady if they would reimburse me if they lost it. She said they'd "repair or replace it", so I guess they'd hire out another content producer to shoot it again? haha

Am I completely fucking nuts for shipping without making backups?? Or should I have faith in FedEx?? I'm doing some serious thinking as to the risks behind what I just did...
