[GIS] Exporting layers to a new file in QGIS

exportlayersqgis

I am updating construction works using QGIS. Every 6 weeks I update the map with new changes, but need to save each survey cycle as a new file. I have a map set up already with all the layers etc.

My issue is that I'm about to start a new survey cycle and need to save the changes I find. I have saved the project for August into a new file, but how do I export all the existing layers etc into a new folder so that when I make changes, it will be for new layer files instead of updating the layer files for the previous batches project?

I would guess your are looking for the plugin QConsolidate in the official repository which enables you to make a copy of nearly all layers (at least rasterdata and shapefiles) and the project to a new directory.

It's useful to pack your data onto an usbdrive for convient datatransfer or archiving. Be aware that images/pictures/other resources only used in the composer won't be copied to the new directory
