Use the option, "Save Project in New Folder"
This will bring up a window where you can select the folder where you want to save it, but also some options
- minimise audio files : only the portions of the audio files you used will be copied to the new directory. Keep in mind, you won't be able to get the "lost" parts back after that, so that option is really only viable when it's a final backup, not an intermediate one.
- Freeze edits : will make every process or effect permanent to each clip in the pool it applies to
- Remove unused files : it will remove all the files which are not used in the pool.
This will reduce filesize by a considerable amount, but be aware that most of them are destructive, so not suited for intermediate backups. You won't be able to get back the lost files, and if you needed them in future edits, you have a problem. So if you want still to have that possibility, keep the original project for further editing.
You don't need to copy the images folder either, cuz cubase can recalculate them if they're not present.
For backup purposes there is also a function called prepare for archive in the pool. This is useful if you used files in different folders that are not in your project audio folder. It will copy everything in the project audio folder so you can have them everywhere you go.
Hope this helped...
