At the time of registration, photos are copied to the photo-storing directory that is specified in the Photo Directory field in the Preferences dialog. To make it easy to back up the photos, tkDerm offers a convenient way to divide the photo-storing directory into subdirectories whose size matches that of removable media such as CD-ROM and DVD-ROM. These subdirectories are called volumes. By using volumes, you can back up and restore any amount from the photo-storing directory.
You can set the size of volumes in the Volume Capacity(MB) field in the Preferences dialog. If the size of the current volume exceeds the value set in the Volume Capacity(MB) field at registration, a new volume will be created automatically. From the time on, photos will be copied to the new volume.
This chapter presents the structure of the photo-storing directory tree, followed by the instructions on how to make volumes manually as well as back up and restore volumes.
