1. download from camera to computer (copy1) 2. copy files to external hard-drive (copy2) 3. edit images to remove OBVIOUS crap (no subjective decisions) 4. Burn to CD/DVD (copy3) 5. edit images with files on hard-disk (a whole different story). 6. EndOfDay / Automatic backup will copy all changed files to another disk/CD 7. When the job is complete, a) copy images to external HDD (copy1) b) burn edited images to CD/DVD (copy2) c) delete project files (original+edits) from computer's HDD I don't use too many sophisticated tools or software to do this. I prefer to work with simple tools, so software like Syncback for backing up, works just fine for me. Best regards, Deen 2005-05-11 10:45:50 In a message dated 5/9/2005 6:30:32 P.M.
