Creating a Backup

Media Manager software automatically saves your library as you make changes, so you don't need to tell the application explicitly to save your library as you're working.

However, you can create a backup of the current library as a restore point or as a template to create new libraries.

When you back up your library, the Media Manager automatically performs database management that can reclaim free space and improve performance.

1. Click the Media Library Actions button and choose Back Up Media Library from the menu. The Back Up Media Library dialog is displayed.

2. Choose a drive and folder from the Save in drop-down list, or use the browse window to locate the folder where you want to save your backup.

3. In the File name box, type the name you want to use to identify the library.

4. Click the Save button.
   
   To restore the backup at a later time, open the backup file.
