Troubleshooting
Backing Up Your Work
It is highly recommended that you back up your work on a regular basis, and especially before
making changes to your system configuration.
Backing Up Your Session Data
Back up your session and audio data frequently. There are a variety of media that are suited to
back up projects of various sizes, including additional hard drives, CD/DVD burners, auto-
mated tape backup systems, and high-capacity optical drives.
The best way to back up an entire session is to use the Save Copy In command. This command
lets you save the session file and all of its associated files to a new location.
You can also use the Auto Save Backup feature (in the Operation Preferences page) to have
Pro Tools automatically save backups of the session file while you work.
Backing Up Your System Configuration
After configuring your system and Pro Tools, you should save an image of your system drive
using a backup utility such as Norton Ghost (Windows) or Bombich Carbon Copy Cloner
(Mac). By doing this, you can quickly restore your system configuration and settings if you en-
counter any problems.
