i just copy the files to a cd-rom; all you need is a regular back-up routine, you don't need to export them to any other format or anything; if you were concerned about saving space, you could export them as a text file, but the troubles of importing/exporting wouldn't really make the minimal savings in file size worth the trouble "Lutfi M Hussein" "lutfi_hussein" schrieb: > Hi, > > What is the best way to back up ProCite?

We make 2 (additional) copies of the database (don't need the index file). One is zipped (*.zip) and one is normal. We keep at least two iterations of one of the copies on remote media (e.g., a rented webspace, an auxiliary hard drive, an offsite computer or other disk). I think our intranet admin may make an additional backup of the database. Redundancy is good. "It's not if your disk will fail, it's when..."
