Archiving User Content

An Archive/Image is a compressed file used to store media files, folders and object files along

with valid identification DMX values. This Content Archive is used to backup User Content that

can be restored to any media server.

Using Local Archives to Prepare Content Offline

You can create a Local Archive of files stored on your harddrive to be deployed to a server at

another time. This lets you work on organizing files for a specific show offline and then upload it

to a server at a later date.
