Managing Endnote: Backup
It is vitally important for you to back up your EndNote library. A corrupted library could ruin your chances of getting an assignment or dissertation finished.
Multiple copies should be made and, these copies should be kept in different places.
Each EndNote library consists of two parts:
| File | Type | Function | Location |
| Library | .enl | Contains all your EndNote references | |
| Data folder | .data | Contains supporting information such as terms and group structures. It may also contain your attached files and images | in the same folder as the Library file |
When backing up your library it is important for you to copy both parts. You can reconstruct an EndNote library from just the Library file, however, your organisation and attached files will be lost.
You may back up your library using Windows file management commands.
You may also back up your library by using EndNote's File > Save a Copy. This menu command will copy both parts of your EndNote Library.
