Archiving a Project to a Tape Device Archive

Archiving a project to a tape device archive consists of opening an existing tape archive, or creating a tape archive using a tape device such as a DLT.

To archive a project to a blank tape:

1. Load the blank to the tape device.
2. In the MediaHub, enable Browse for Archives.
3. In the Local Devices list, double-click the tape device to open it.
4. Click Format to create a new archive.
   WarningFormatting the tape erases all data already present on it. If you want to add to an existing archive, click Open, and follow the procedure described below.
5. In the New Archive Creation window, enter the required information and click Create.

   Flame Premium creates and opens the archive in the MediaHub. You can now archive the project.

6. Set as required the options displayed in the Archive Options tab.
7. Click Archive Project.

   Flame Premium starts archiving the project. The actual duration of the archive process depends on the size of the project and on the options you enabled or disabled. To cancel the process, click anywhere on the screen; you cannot use the application for anything else while Flame Premium archives your project.

8. Click Close Archive to finalize the archive.

To add a project to a tape already containing an archive:

1. Load the tape to the tape device.
2. In the MediaHub, enable Browse for Archives.
3. In the Local Devices list, double-click the tape device to open it.
4. Click Open to open archive.
   WarningDo not select Format, as this would erase all data on the tape.
5. Click Archive Project.

   Flame Premium starts archiving the project. The actual duration of the archive process depends on the size of the project and on the options you enabled or disabled. You can cancel the process at any time by clicking anywhere on the screen; you cannot use the application for anything else while Flame Premium archives your project.

6. Click Close Archive to finalize the archive.
