+ | To safeguard your precious images and image editing work, you should back up your Image Archive to CD, DVD or Harddisk on a regular basis. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We recommend you store your backups at a secure location away from your computer and, if possible, a different location altogether. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Note:** Web galleries are not included in the Image Archive | ||

**Note:** To be effective, the backup should always reside on a different physical drive than the originals you work with, so that in case of a drive failure your backup does not get lost with the originals! | **Note:** To be effective, the backup should always reside on a different physical drive than the originals you work with, so that in case of a drive failure your backup does not get lost with the originals! | ||
+ | ===== Backup to CD or DVD ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The backup function can be performed for folders or the entire Image Archive StudioLine will copy the original images together with any descriptors, | ||
+ | |||
+ | * To backup a folder, right-click on the folder in the Albums view of the Image Archive Pane. Choose “Backup” → “Backup Folder to CD/DVD” from the context menu. If applicable, StudioLine will prompt you whether to backup any subfolders. | ||
+ | * To backup the entire Image Archive right-click on “Image Archive,” the topmost listing in the Albums view of the Image Archive Pane. Choose “Backup” → “Backup Folder to CD/DVD” from the context menu. When prompted whether to backup any subfolders, click “Yes”. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The window “Backup Folder to CD/DVD ” opens. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can overwrite the default title that StudioLine proposes for the disc. If applicable, you can choose which of your CD or DVD recorders to use, erase any re-writable media, and set the recording speed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The lower part of the panel displays information about the current disc located in the burn drive, the amount of data to be written, and the number of discs that will be required. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once complete, StudioLine will suggest how you should label your disc(s). | ||
+ | |||
+ | A backup disc can also be used to upload images to other computers that are running StudioLine. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Backing Up New Pictures ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | StudioLine keeps track of any new images that are added to a folder after it is backed up. When you select that folder for another backup, StudioLine will offer to perform either a full backup of all images, or just an incremental backup of new images. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Restoring the Entire Image Archive ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can recover from a loss of your entire Image Archive (for example due to a hard drive failure) by following these steps: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Reinstall StudioLine. | ||
+ | * Start StudioLine and open “File” menu and choose “Restore from Backup”. | ||
+ | * Follow the on-screen instructions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Restoring Individual Images ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | To restore individual images, open the backup disc in “StudioLine Explorer -- My Computer” (via the “Browse and Load” button on the QuickStep Bar). Navigate to the backup images and drag them onto the Image Archive desktop. | ||
+ | |||
+ | StudioLine will recognize | ||
+ | |||
+ | The two topmost fields display the name of the backup image and its location in the Image Archive. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A drop-down list offers choices on how to proceed with the image. For internal images, you can: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Reload Original from Backup**\\ StudioLine replaces the master copy in the Image Archive with the backed up image from the backup disc. The option “Include Filters and Descriptors” will be off by default; changes made after the backup will therefore be retained. | ||
+ | * **Create as New Image**\\ StudioLine creates a new image in the target folder you dragged the disc icon to. The option “Include Filters and Descriptors” is always active by default. | ||
+ | * **Reload Original and Create Shortcut**\\ This functions like the option “Replace the Original with the Backup.” | ||
+ | * **Skip**\\ StudioLine will not restore the image. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The option “Apply to All Backed Up Images” is only relevant, when you are restoring more than one picture at a time and you want the same choice to be used for all other images that may already exist. |
