Use google drive its a free cloud storage and you can access from any computer. I use this and zip drives. Don't keep anything on my computer anymore but can still connect my machine to computer and access designs from google drive

Yes I have my designs in a folder (most of them) but would I not lose that if the computer crashed? Can I just burn them to a CD for back up?
Donna Jean . That's what I was wondering. Just did not want to lose them. lol I am new to all of this.
Thanks to both for your help.

That's what I like about Emblibrary.com. They keep an order history of all designs for you. You can download them endless number of times. No need to copy or keep any other record at all. They also have monthly free designs, a large variety of designs, and each design has a page telling suggested colors and what each color of thread is used for in the design.

I purchased two external hard drives last year during the "back to school sales". I copy everthing to both. One, I work off, by just transferring the designs I want to use. The other is at my best friends house, just in case my house goes up in flames. When I buy or download new designs, I copy those to a USB thumb drive and transfer those to the hard drive at her house. We do not live very far apart. She does the same thing, keeping one at my house.

I put all of my designs on a USB stick. I transfer the design I want to use to a 1 or 2GB stick to use directly on my Quattro. By putting it on a 1 or 2gb stick I don't have to search through my designs for the few I want to work with.

We have all our computer files backed up to Carbonite. There is a yearly fee but the backups are continual and automatic so this is one less thing I have to remember to do. Cheap insurance at twice the price but don't tell them I said that!
