Hi Chris,
With thinking ahead:
this is exactly what you can do -BUT to do this you have to place the
files inside your project folder (usually under f: DSProjects) and this
should be done before you link them into the project. This way they will
be archived together with the project and DS will automatically know
where they are when you decide to bring the archive back in again.
Without thinking ahead:
There is a log file inside the archive that will tell you where the
files are linked from. This will allow you to place copys of the files
inside of the archive and during restore you can see in the log file
where you should put the files back.
The captured video media can only be archived to tape, if you choose to.
Good luck
Andi

I tried looking through the web archives but didn't see my question.
The manual isn't very clear for me on this:
I'm archiving our first project. I have elements from DigiBeta,
Quicktimes w/ alphas generated from AE, Linked high res photos of
skies used for sky replacement.
What I would prefer is to have one archive that didn't copy the digi
media because I just assume recapture the few clips from the actual
edit. But I would want the QT's and linked photos copied into the
archives and relinked.
Is this possible? The manual isn't clear about the details of non
video/cache/audio files.
If it's not possible to do automatically do I have to manually copy
the QT's and linked photos into the archive and manually link them
after restoring the project?
