	I'm probably being really dense but is there an easy way to take a copy of all the photos in Gallery 2? My friend is going abroad for a while and will be uploading photos to their album and I want to download them to keep them safe on an offline machine. Cheers Vicky

	just copy the g2data/albums folder, download it via ftp or so.

	Ah - okay... I thought it might be that. Only downside is that it'd have to be via FTP... not the end of the world but I thought there might hvae been some online maintenance module or something.

	you can use the download as zip cart option, but that wouldn't preserve the hierarchy of your albums and it could fail with too many images.

	Ah okay - I don't need to preserve the hierarchy. Do you have a rough idea of the number of images that would make it fail? I don't think this is going to be an enormous album. (Thanks for your help, by the way.)
