So I have a Current Gen Mac Pro for Video Editing and I'm trying to figure out a good back up system. As you know it comes with very sparse flash storage 256gb

I have a 3tb Thunderbolt Drive; a 3tb FW800 Drive; 2tb USB2; and a 5tb USB3.

Which is the best for doing which of the following things?

FCPX edit drive
iTunes/media storage
Time Machine Backups
Redundant FCPX back up Time Machine Drive.

Currently I have the Thunderbolt as the FCPX drive; The FW as my media serving/iTunes drive the USB2 is just kind of holding old junk and the 5tb is brand new.

Any help or suggestions how I should set this up for the best workflow?

Thanks in advance!
