Restoring a Project from a Tape Device Archive

No two projects can use the same name on a given workstation. If you attempt to restore a project with a name already in use, you are prompted to change its name before restoring it. You can see a list of all the projects in MediaHub > Browse for Projects > Local Projects. You can delete projects from the menu Flame Premium > Project and User Settings. See Working with Projects.

To restore a project from a tape archive:

  1. Load to the tape device one of the tapes that make up the archive.
  2. In the MediaHub, enable Browse for Archives.
  3. In the Local Devices list, double-click the tape device to open it and select Open.
    Danger: Do not select Format, as this would erase all data on the tape.
  4. Navigate the archive, and select the project to restore. Projects are created at the root of an archive tape.
  5. Click Restore Project. If the archive spans multiple tapes, Flame Premium prompts you to insert the required tape.

    Flame Premium starts restoring the project. The actual duration of the archive process depends on the size of the project. 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 restores your project. Once restored, you can switch to the restored project using Flame Premium > Project and User Settings.
