Saving files over vs packaging.

i curious best file structure files use on year after year.

 

 

being publishing company , produce updated editions each year. each new year contains changes, corrections, new images etc.

 

for past 3 years have done "save as" each individual id file , saved each file on new folder each year. takes forever moving 65+ individual id files! understanding don't move/copy paste files new folder since we've had problems file corruption in past , don't consider safest way. there truth that? or problems moving many files? (we're on pc's only)

 

all these files , images stored on 1 drive don't have many issues links breaking. we've been doing slow save each file many years.

 

for instance 2010 section 1 becomes 2011 section one.

 

each year archive older year's files packaging them , moving packaged files cd backup. save our 2010 files , save files 2011 renaming files accordingly.

 

i suppose point quickest effective way save files on each year? moving packaged files better? know take far less time we've been doing, i'm not sure @ point. our system has worked great no problems...it takes forever , don't think it's effective way process each year. hope made sense here!

 

thanks feedback!

twice takes forever. how long that?
