Therefore, please use another backup program to backup all your computer files. In Picasa, you can define Backup Sets. When you "do a backup," you select a particular backup set.

Picasa keeps track of what photos have already been backed up using that backup set. If the Backup Set you select to use is "new" a just-created backup set, or a backup set that hasn't been used before , the backup you're now doing will be a full backup - that is, all photos will be backed up. If the Backup Set you select to use has been previously used for a backup, the backup you're doing right now will be an incremental backup - that is, photos that are new or edited since the last backup using the selected backup set will be backed up.

Cautions when using Picasa Backup:. Remember that the Picasa Backup tool only backs up the Photos and Picasa data files, so if the photo folders contain documents or anything else besides photos, those files will not be backed up by Picasa, and if you want them on the new computer you should copy and restore them after the Picasa Restore. Picasa arranges it's left column into "Collections" such as Albums, People, and Folders. These collections can be Open for viewing or Closed.

A collection is Open if it has a green triangle to the left of the collection, or a red triangle indicates it is closed. In Flat Folder View there can be user defined collections and all should be open for a complete backup. When backing up, the Albums collection should be open and all selected so Album definitions will be retained.

When Backing up, the People album should be open and all selected to be sure face names are defined if faces are defined in the metadata. If you want to back up Hidden Folders, it can only be done in Flat Folder view by opening the Hidden Folders collection and selecting the folders.

This is the first backup using that backup set. Say your backup writes 50 photos to a new blank CD 5 folders of 10 photos each. The initial full backup is done. A few days later, you import a new folder of 20 new photos. And you crop one of the photos from an older folder.

Now, you want to get everything backed up - in particular, the new and changed photos. You would do another backup using the same backup set as before:.
