Kodak EasyShare Software for Mac OS X
Backup and Restore
The Backup/Restore contains pictures cataloged by EasyShare software along with any
organizational data that you entered.
You can create a backup of the entire collection on a CD, DVD or disk location (local or
networked). When needed, you can restore from your backup and replace the pictures and
metadata in the current collection.
Backing up your collection
1. Select Tools > Backup.
The Backup Collection window opens.
2. In the Name of backup text field, type a name for your backup collection.
(If you previously backed up your collection, the name is displayed.)
3. Select either Entire collection or Changes since last backup on [date].
NOTE: If you never backed up, your first backup will be of the entire collection.
4. In the backup media section, select either of the following:
• Burn to CD/DVD.
Insert a recordable disc into the optical drive. You can use any combination
of CDs or DVDs.
• Write to folder.
If you are backing up your collection for the first time, click Browse and
select a location to store your backup collection. The location can be on a
server, an external hard disk, or your hard disk.
If you have a previous backup, the location is displayed in the text field.
If you wish, you may select Verify backup. This option compares the completed backup to
your current collection and verifies that it is correct.
5. Click
