Are you using the free version or the full version?

Don't know if the upgrade is worthy or anything, but you do not have to pay for any upgrade of DVD Profiler.

If you have full version, you don't have to pay for the update. I would recommend the update because of some improvements and bug fixes. You can find the version history on the Invelos site!
You don't have to re enter your collection. The database will be converted into the new version after the first start of the updated profiler.

Still, a backup pre-upgrade is better than a corrupted database post-upgrade. ;)

But yes, you should upgrade.

Sure! Backups are always strongly recommended! The more the better!

Backup is recomended in case of database corruption in order to restore your collection. If you make a clean install of the profiler (e.g. on a new machine) the backup is also helpful. Of course you can use the online collection to make a restore, but then all your individual coverscans wil be overwritten!

Hopefully you are using your computer only as a toy and don't have important data stored on it.

You'll know what backups are for when (not if) your HDD crashes and you have to pay a considerable amount (€ 500,- +) to retrieve the data.

I was surprised like you at first. Then I realized that this is the DVD Profiler thread, so I think he may just refer to DVD Profiler. maybe he doesn't make specific backups there, because his overall backup scheme already covers this as well...

Well, I know some users who think that backup is something for cowards!  :devil:

Kahless is right.

I only use my 'puter for itunes, shopping and surfing, nothing serious, so yes it is pretty much a toy.
