How do I backup my data to a Removeable Drive ? As of now it is showing A 3 1/2 floppy -  F & H which is not a hard drive. My D & E  DVD drives our not listed. I click specific location and check off D or E it does not copy database. Please explain how I can Backup the database to a DVD disk. Right now I can only backup to the default C drive..  Thank You Bud

First select "Backup Database..." from the menu, then tick "Specific Location" and then hit the button "Browse..." to choose a location where to save the backup file to. That's how it works for me...

DVD Profiler can't burn CDs/DVDs. You'll have to temporarily save the backup file somwhere on your hard drive and then use Windows (XP/Vista/7) or another software (e.g. CDBurnerXP) to burn it.

pick your self up one of those 4G USB flash memory sticks.. ( about $20)... real quick and real fast ..

sounds like your PC ( with an A drive and no seperate Harddrive and your D & E are only recordable CD dvd drives ..

I used to back up my database often because I install a fresh operating sys everytime I get adware or virus on my computer. When I restore the database I usually get errors, so I started just copying the files straight off "MY DOCUMENTS\DVD PROFILER\" folder and save anywhere I want. to restore it just copy back over the files in "MY DOCUMENTS\DVD PROFILER\". Works Great and no errors.

That's my way of backupping, too. I use a file comparer (Beyond Compare) that copies all the changed files onto my USB stick. And from there to my two other places where I have a copy of the database (my notebook and my work PC (<-- don't tell no one! ))

if you are getting viruses then you should invest in some antivirus software.

And as well as backing up the database the same way you do, I also have scheduled in two dvd profiler backups each week (each with a different name) so I can always go back two versions by restoring data.
