Hi Brian!! I would personally turn all of your projects into .cwb files. That way, you can be sure everything that should be there, is there, when you put them on your new hard disk. Regarding setting up Sonar to use Per Project audio, it's a good idea. When you do this, all of the audio is kept in the same folder as the .cwp file that is associated with the project. For example, if you created a project called "test" then, there would be a folder called test. Inside that folder, there would be a .cwp file called test and a folder called "audio." All of the audio associated with the project called "test would be stored there. So, if you work in this way, and you need to back up a project, you don't need to bundle them at all. Instead, you simply copy all of the projects on to whatever you are backing them up on to. You can tell Sonar to use per project audio in the global options dialog box. it's a check box in the audio data tab in that dialog box. You just need to check the box that says "use per project audio."
