5. Close the project.
6. Using Windows Explorer, copy the project folder and its contents, including
the project’s audio folder, to its backup location (CD-R, CD-RW, Zip or Jaz
drive, another hard drive, network drive, etc.).
You have now created a copy of your project. It is a good idea to open the project
once you have backed it up to confirm that all audio loads properly.
To Create a Backup Using Consolidate Project Audio
Use this procedure to backup a project that has multiple audio folders:
1. Open the project you want to backup.
2. Select Tools-Consolidate Project Audio.
3. A message box appears listing the destination folder for your audio backup.
4. Click OK to confirm.
5. Using Windows Explorer, copy the project, the backup folder and all its
contents, including the project’s audio folder, to its backup location (CD-R, CD-
RW, Zip or Jaz drive, another hard drive, network drive, etc.). The
Consolidate Project Audio command only copies the audio in your
project, so make sure you copy the project (.
CWP) along with the
backup folder.
6. Once you have copied the backup folder you can delete it to free up disk space.
Deleting Unused Audio Files
The Tools-Clean Audio Folder command is used to delete digital audio files in
an audio folder if they are no longer used by any of your projects. You should use
this command from time to time to free up disk space.
This command searches your entire system for project files, and then compiles a
list of all the audio files in a specified folder that are not in use by any of these
projects. You can then choose to delete these audio files. Make sure that all of your
important project (.
CWP, .WRK) files are stored on your local hard disk(s) before
using this command. If your project files are stored elsewhere (removable media,
etc.), then you risk accidentally deleting important audio files that are associated
with your projects.
If you are using another utility program that protects you from accidentally
deleting important files (such as Norton Protect), you may need to disable that
program. Otherwise, the next time you use the Tools-Clean Audio Folder
command you may once again find these not-quite-deleted files.
