If it's a piece of music, I look in the Finale folder. If it's a home-made font, I look in the Fontographer folder. Word-processed and other text docs are distributed by subject matter: anything having to do with music or my publishing business is in the Finale folder, anything having to do w. medicine is in the WriteNow folder because that's my wife's app. There's a Games folder containing all games, a Communications folder containing all internet apps., and everything else goes in the Utilities folder, with a few aliases otherwhere for particularly useful things such as StuffIt. The hard drive on my old computer is smaller than a CD, so I back up the whole thing at once, whenever it changes significantly. Ongoing Finale projects are backed up to an auxiliary hard drive, which is also the primary storage spot for all my old Finale files. Every time I complete a Finale project, I back up the auxiliary drive to a CD.
