Back up a catalog

Restore a catalog

Backup catalogs to create free space on your computer by moving rarely used media files to a CD, DVD, another drive on your computer, or a

shared network.

If you are backing up to a CD or DVD, ensure that you have a CD or DVD drive with writable media connected to your computer. For incremental

back ups, ensure that you have the media that contains the last complete back up.

Tips and pointers for backing up catalogs

Before you proceed to back up a catalog, ensure that you have noted the following information.

It’s best to back up to a CD, DVD, or external hard drive.

If you back up to a folder on your computer’s internal hard drive, Elements Organizer renames the files with alphanumeric codes. This

renaming prevents multiple files with the same name in the same backup folder. However, Elements Organizer restores the names when you

restore the files.

Backup/restore using CD/DVD is not supported on Mac OS. Also, on Mac OS, you cannot access files on a shared network.

To burn selected photos onto a CD or DVD for playback on computers or multiple DVD players, see Publish a slide show (Windows only).

(Windows only) To use all the available space on CDs and DVDs, Elements Organizer lets you burn multiple sessions on a disc. Choose

Edit > Preferences > Files, and select the Enable Multisession Burning To CD/DVD.

When you finish, it’s a good idea to label any removable media, such as a CD with the name and date of the backup sessions. To label a

disc, create a CD and DVD label by using Elements Organizer, or use a pen specially designed for safely writing on discs

Back up a catalog

1. If you have multiple catalogs, open the catalog you want to back up.

2. Select File > Backup Catalog.

3. If a dialog box appears asking if you want to reconnect missing files, do one of the following:

Click Reconnect to check for missing files. If you clicked Reconnect, and missing files are found, the Reconnect Missing Files dialog box

appears and prompts you to reconnect the missing files.

Click Continue to proceed with backing up files. Elements Organizer automatically performs a recover procedure.

If you choose to continue with the backup despite disconnected items,restoring this backup set yields a catalog with the items

disconnected.
