To restore material from an archive on a tape device:
- Load to the tape device one of the tapes that make up the archive.
- In the MediaHub, enable Browse for Archives.
- In the Local Devices list, double-click the tape device and click Open.
Danger: Do not select Format, as this would erase all data on the tape.
- Drag and drop clips and folders from the archive to the Media panel.
Material you drag and drop appears greyed out in the Media panel, and is not restored until you click Restore.
- Click Restore. If the archive spans multiple tapes,
Flame Premium prompts you to insert the required tape.
The length of the restoration process depends on the size of the material being restored. You cannot use the application for anything else while Flame Premium restores the material. Cancel the process at any time by clicking anywhere in the MediaHub.
To see how much space a selected item will take on your storage, as well as the archive segment where it is stored:
- In the archive, select the items to restore.
- Click the MediaHub Gear menu and select Update Selection Information.
- The right of the MediaHub status bar displays the number of frames and the space required to restore the selected items.
It also displays the archive segments that contain the selected items, which are required to restore the selection.
