Here's the method I use.
1. Copy the entire media card to a backup location. (I use external drives.)
2. Copy the entire media card to my internal Media drive.
3. Edit away. Make backups of Project and Library as I go. (I save these to a Dropbox folder.)
4. When the project has been approved in writing, I just delete the media from the Media drive.
If I ever need to rebuild, I just copy the media over from the backup. (Projects remain in the Library essentially forever.)
My Biases:
You NEED training.
You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.
