Put everything that you want to keep in the archive on one timeline, go
to the purge tool and tell ds to display everything except for the
sequence. Everything that is displayed in the list will be purged, this
includes all bits left and right of the parts that you used in the
sequence if you have chosen "maximum".
Hope this helps

But what If I didn't make a subclip? I just set in and out points
from the viewer and dragged that where I needed it. Will the maximum
recovery still delete the media except what I used in the sequence
without subclipping? I take it the handle frames option applies to
the maximum recovery process?

It can be simpler than that.
Either have the final sequence opened in the timeline or selected in
the DS Explorer, then Select "Except For" and select what you need to
be purged (video, audio, caches, etc.).
One important option is "Maximum Recovery". Why? Because only this
option will split the full master media in smaller pieces used by
sub-clips and purge the master media when finished. Note that this
process requires a lot of media handling and will take some time to
complete as copies of the sub-clip media must be made on the storage
before deleting the master media. And you need ample space on your
storage for this as well.

Sorry, Hopefully last question on this.
Russ, you said to subclip my larger clip then purge unused media. My
30 second bit is used in effects trees as a plate and is chopped up
on the layer's timeline. I was hoping there would be a simple way to
do what I need to keep what I used and delete the rest. If I subclip
it like you suggested do I have to subclip from the original clip
then manually re apply it in the effects tree and recut it up on the
timeline?
If this is the case, in the future should I do ALL editing that I may
not recapture bits of as subclips so I can archive easier?

Currently, they do not have a file conversion utility.
As far as paring down your media to transfer, you can purge the
compresed video, and to preserve the 30 seconds of the 7 minute
clip, make a supbclip of the 30 seconds and then purge unused media
of the 7 minute clip.

Chris -
You have to be aware, too, that the media files that Archive
Backup copies will only be good as long as Avid keeps the media
file format the same. Usually when there's a major upgrade, as
in from 7.6 to 8.0, the file format changes and the media files
cannot be converted. Unless our friends up in Montreal are
working on that, too???

Hello Chris,
You might want to take a look at the DS Archive Backup
tool on the DS website:
http://www3.softimage.com/DS2/right/download/cstools.htm
It does what you wish the inboard archive tool would do :-)
Cheers

Thanks Guys. Is it on the wish list anywhere to have DS
automatically take anything that is linked or captured
and save them onto only disk automatically? I'd rather
back everything up onto FW drives or optical media than
mess with decks. *Chris Smith*
