You're right, but I scan 50 pages at a time and then go back over them and delete headers and fix page numbers etc. I never have felt I needed to save a backup copy, but now I can see the reason for it. I've never done this before because I've never had a book that the title was the name of a place that was repeated many times throughout the text. I've learned my lesson now. Thanks for the feedback. I am starting to scan it again and I will take precautions this time.

You might try like many of us do, you might try something that most of us do, and that is to save each time before you do a major process. The first thing I do after having scanned the book is to save it with the same title and WORKING in caps after it. Then each subsequent time I prepared to do a major process, I save it again, with ascending numbers after that. Other people append the date after the title. That way you don't lose anything more than your last revision. All of us feel your pain, I can't imagine that there are many people who haven't done this one time or another. Let us know if we can help anymore!
