thanks for your reply
since we use RADAR it seems that the Card Reader is the way to back up the original CF and then load onto another CF..
what about the BackUp being performed By inserting a new CF Card and using COPY Mode with hi-lighted projects intended for back up

thanks again

SD cards and SSD drives only accept a certain number of writes - after this point they may still be readable, but are no longer writeable.

And that's why we have TMC. Back up those files to HD, burn 'em, archive 'em, or re-write 'em to new cards. As a wise man once said:

Caveat.

Excellent advice!
May I add that at least one of those three places should be "off site".
