So do Database | Backup Database and then save that file off on another drive (EHD, cd, dvd, second drive, network, etc.) This will save all your organization. If for some reason you need to restore, you have your files in "scrapbooking file" and your database and those are the two things necessary if you had to recover. Hi DigiMom3boys

I think I am trying to over complicate this but gotta ask. I am downloading to a "scrapbooking file", then unzipping to a "wating to be tagged file" then transfering to a "tagged w/ACDSEE file" once tagged. Now I have backed up my entire "scrapbooking file" as it contains all of the above files. Do I still need to backup database too ? Am I understanding that this is where the TAGS are actually located? So should I be doing both or just backup the database to the EHD and then anything else in the "scrapbooking file" that may not be "TAGGED" in the ACDSEE database, like my photos? Does that make sense? I know that everyone has to develop their own system, but when getting started I feel like I just need to follow someone else, until I am understanding enough to spread my downloads! Thanks again!!

Which sounds like what you are doing. My main recommendation is to make sure you backup your database to a drive where it doesn't reside at. So in case one drive crashes you have it on another.

This was just what I planned w/ a new hard drive under the tree! One question, I am backing up my entire scrap folder currently on my computer to my small portable external 250, this is all my kits/photos/layouts etc... hoping to speed up my Photoshop program by doing so. Also for the protection of course. Do I need to also back up my database to my external or is it best to keep that on my computer? I also do entire backups periodically to a non-portable EHD 350 of my entire computer. I am trying to make sure I am backing up what would be needed. Do you run your database off the EHD? Or just back it up to the EHD. Wanting to start 2008 with a better system. Much thanks! Thanks so much for the great reminder. This was just what I planned w/ a new hard drive under the tree!
