Backing up projects with digital audio
Audio file management
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, DVD-R, DVD-RW, 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 the Consolidate Project Audio command
Use this procedure to backup a project that has multiple audio folders:
1. Open the project you want to backup.
2. Select Utilities > 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, DVD-R, DVD-RW, another hard
drive, network drive, etc.).
6. Once you have copied the backup folder you can delete it to free up disk space.
Note: 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.
