| | Posted: | | | | I have a bunch of discs in my collection that are missing images that i went through and added images to, at least 1,000, if not more, and saved them to my online profiler page. A month ago i had to reinstall and downloaded my online backup, and all the images are missing, even on the online versions. so now i have to redo all the images from scratch. What i want to know is how they got erased from the online versions, and will it happen again? cause i don't want to do this a third time.  |

| | Posted: | | | | Local images are not uploaded to your online collection. The online collection is not suitable as a primary backup if you have custom images. What you should do is to use the backup function in DVD Profiler, and keep that backup on a different media than your Profiler database, i.e. not on the same disc in case of a disc crash. Cloud storage like OneDrive or Google Drive is perfect for this.
The online collection only displays the images that are part of Invelos' online database. Storing all the images from all users would require enormous disk space, and most of those images would be the same as Invelos' images anyway. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

| | Posted: | | | | File/Backup Database will create a backup file that contains everything, including cover scans.
Store that file on a Cloud drive, an external hard drive, a USB stick or something similar. You can store it on a secondary internal drive on your PC, but that means that if you have a crash and need to restore on a different PC, you'll need to remove that disk and connect it to your new PC. So some kind of external media is best.
And then when needed you can use File/Restore database to restore everything from that backup file. And as a plus, you're not depending on Invelos' site being accessible when you need to restore.
You should, of course, keep your backup reasonably up-to-date. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

| | Posted: | | | | Do you have any old copies of your PC hard drive? If so, you might be able to get a head start by simply copying images from the old image folder.
By "images", do you mean headshots or cover scans? If you mean head shots, and if you don't mind starting with somebody else's choices, you could take a loo at the Headshot Master Database. Most of your actors will likely be covered, and you can then update or add at you leisure. | | | Thanks for your support.
