Backup OneNote files to CD

[John]

I lost a lot of my one note files when I purchased a new computer. I put them
on CD but could not restore them from CD. I did not use the backup facility,
as I am a new user of onenote and was unaware of this function. I now use
back up regularly. My question is: is this the correct way to save files so I
can put them on a CD and be able to restore them back in onenote should the
need arise? I don't want to take a chance of losing any more files.

Could you tell us what was the problem ?

For saving you can just "copy" the contents of your Backup folder to a CD.
Restore it to your standard folder "Onenote Notebooks", if necessary.

One hint:

After restoring from CD you have to reset the "read only" attribute of
each restored file.
