Backing Up Your Photos On Disc In Adobe Elements

As everyone knows backing up is one of the most important things you should be doing, but not many people do it. I’ll get straight to the point here, when your working with Adobe Elements you should be backing everything up, either with an external hard Drive, or a flash memory stick or to disc. You must also remember that it’s only a matter of time before your PC crashes.

So today I’m going to run you through the very quick process of backing your images to disc with Adobe Elements.

First I would recommend that you back up to DVD rather than a CD. Your first step is to select Organizer’s File Menu in the top right hand corenr and then choose Back Up Catalog to CD, DVD or Hard Drive.

You’ll than be given a dialog box, you are given some more options here, you can either do a full back up (you should do this option if it’s your first time) or you can choose Incremental Backup (you only choose this after your first backup because this option only backs up your new changes from your last backup). So if it’s your first time make sure you choose “Full Back Up”.

The last step is very simple and straight forward. All you have to do now is click Next and your destination settings screen will appear, here you are telling Elements to backup your stuff. Now it’s up to you if you choose to backup to CD, DVD or external hard drive. Like I said before we are going to be doing this with a blank DVD, so you just need to insert your DVD and choose that drive from the list. Make sure you give your DVD a name and then click the Done Button and that’s it.
