| | Posted: | | | | I have a collection of almost 7000 dvds which I have spent many hours uploading into dvd profiler over the last 15 years. The laptop I have access to them on is about to die but I am unable to create a backup of my collection as I get a stream read error each time I try to save a back up. Help! |

| | Posted: | | | | Try to untick the check mark for the images. You can backup them later.
Try if that works! | | | Karsten

| | Posted: | | | | Thanks Ruben but I tried backing up to a Seagate 5TB external drive. Same outcome.
I've also repaired the database before attempting the back up. |

| | Posted: | | | | You can also simply copy the entire database.
Go to File -> Open Database and look where the DB is located. Then navigate there with Windows Explorer and just copy the whole folder to your backup drive | | | Karsten

| | Posted: | | | | I'm not sure I ever uploaded a collection to the database.
The last successful backup was at least a couple of years ago, but I have added several thousand dvds since then. |

| | Posted: | | | | Hi DJ Doena. The laptop that I access dvd profiler on is currently with a computer repair shop but I will try this when I get it back. I would imagine though that I'll still get the read stream error message when I try to import it back into dvd profiler. Thanks. |

When you copy/paste the original database files with Windows Explorer, you'll circumvent the backup/restore mechanism of the program. But after you've loaded the DB on the new computer, you should run another DB repair, just to be on the save (safe?) side. | | | Karsten
