Backing Up Projects with Digital Audio

There are several ways to back up your projects in SONAR. You can use

per-project audio folders to keep all a project’s audio in its own folder, use

the Consolidate Project Audio command to create a backup copy of all your

project’s audio, or you can save a project as a bundle file (.

CWB).
