| 154748 | 2003-06-24 09:53:00 | It’s me with my iMac again. If I am burning back up cd’s of some of my programs such as Adobe Photoshop 5 and Illustrator 8 do I just copy the appropriate folders, or do I have to go dig into the system folder and make copies of the extensions too? Please don’t suggest that I just make copies of my program software discs because I’ve ‘lost’ them. Cheers :) |

When you install programs the correct way all the relevant files are placed in the right places. You will need to make sure they all go back again if you reinstall so it would be wise to do a File/Find and note where they all are. You might find some in System folder and Control panels as well. Preferences will be created when when you run the program so you can ignore those. |

| 154751 | 2003-06-25 04:56:00 | You could check the size of your system folder (after you have emptied your browser cache etc first), and you may find you can get the whole system folder onto a CD backup as well. That way you have all those bits and pieces backed up as well. Just a thought? John |
