I am very unorganised with my downloads and have been over the past few weeks trying to bring them into some order and opening every design and cleaning out but i am worried so i will save first cleanout next and save again i would hate to loose them. thanks for the reminders glad some one is on the ball.

Thank you for the reminder. I have been a bit negligent lately and guess what: reason is my laptop is playing up. Now, is not that stupid!! I'll do it straight away. Flower for you.

OK, It's not the end of the month or anything, and I just did on April 24th, but one can never be too safe... also have been doing some back up on external drive. Saw your note here and popped in a CD, burning now. Bless you my dear and a bouquet for you ><>

Good call! I try to remember to do it monthly to a CD, but I don't always make it.

I try to do mine everytime I sort through the recently downloaded designs, I find it's easier. I sort them into designer and category, and do back-ups at the same time. That way I'm up to date with them. Then about once a week (sometimes longer!), I do a complete back-up. I also do a lot of digital painting and scrapbooking and would hate to lose pictures that I've spent hours and hours drawing - even though it is fun to do, I don't want to have to repeat them! Hugs and a flower sweetie.

You're absolutely right Ruthie! I put my designs on my lap top, desk top AND my memory stick. ;-) xoxo

Teri, I'm fanatical about back-ups, my designs are on my HD, a flash drive, and 2 externals!!! Hugs and a flower sweetie.

Oh my ruthie you do believe in taking serious precautions don't you. Do you wear a belt and suspenders at the same time? HaHa But, I know our designs are too important to take a chance on losing them. Better to be safe than sorry. Right? Thank you for the reminder!! Hugs and *4U Sue
