Backup CD for embelishments

[kode]

I can't seem to figure out how to make a back up CD of my embelishments. I made one a couple of months ago but for the life of me I can't seem to be able to do it again. Can anyone refresh my memory!!??? Thanks!!

I use Roxio Easy CD Creator....

Locate C drive
Program Files
SBM
Gallery
Images
Embellishments

then drag whatever to lower screen & burn DVD.

Maybe someone has better idea!!**??

Well when I've sorted out Max I'll have a go.I have just system restored back 3 days and now when I open Max it says somethig like unable to find backgrounds and it just goes blank. Looks like I'll have to reinstall arrrrrrrgggghhhhh!!!!

Scrapbooking backup

I use the same as MH51 to back up my what's in the Scrapbook Gallery on my hard drive.

Also, zipping up various downloads in folders marked as to the web site, designer, kit(paper, embell. etc) naming, and .smt and .smb files. Will back them up onto a CD along with the various templates I acquired. It would then be easy to restore if I have that dreaded 'crash'. Expect to do all my projects and published files too.

It is taking me quite some time, since I am on overload right now.

Do like Roxio Easy CD Creator.

Another method to backup

I like to use Window Explorer. Right click on START and left click on Explore. I format a CD that is rewriteable (START, my computer, right click on D drive and Format--takes about 20 minutes the first time). Now I can click on the embellishments in Scrapbook Max, EDIT, Select All, and drag them into my D drive. You don't need any other programs once you master this one. It really is easy to learn.

Everything I have tried says it can't copy it. I tried the D drive that was just suggested. I have tried- send it to the CD drive and tried copiying and dragging. And Also tried Sonic that is suppose to do this kind of stuff. I have even did a virus scan to see if a virus was affecting me but it says I am fine. I guess I will try another day. Thanks for all of your help and suggestions! I do appreciate it!

Try making a CD with just one file (any file) to make sure there's nothing wrong with your drive.

The program came with my computer when I bought it about 3 years ago. Don't know what it would cost nowdays. Just do an internet search for it.

I was wanting to do that but I just moved to a new house and can't seem to locate all my other CD's. Just my luck! As soon as I do I will try that out! Thanks again for your help! I might be bugging you again though when I come across the rest of my CD's!!!!

Please free free to bug me... CD's are my speciality...

Many moons ago (the early 1990's)... I remember when our company bought one the the first single-speed (1x) cd-writers... It cost $3,500 USD and took about an 1 1/2 hours to create a disc... Discs were around $40 USD/each...

I know! Isn't it amazing how far we have come!!!!!

Yehaw!! Good and bad news! The good is that I saved some of my embelishments to a DVD!!!! The bad news is that I don't remember for the life of me how I did the saving-it was purely by accident!
Another thing is it just as good to save to a DVD as it is a CD?

You can at least 5 or 6 CD's worth of content on the a DVD disc... It takes a bit longer to burn,but will probably last as long as a CDR...

I do project backups every day to a USB drive, then about once a week onto 2 DVD's (that's about 9 GB worth of data or 10 CDs... yikes! )
