Hi Matthew,
It would possibly be far safer to use DS
Archive Backup found in the Tools Menu.
First create an archive of the project only and then use this to copy
the media as an archive to a hard drive that you intend using. You can then have them extract this on
the other DS on the otherside(or ftp in your case). This will help with collecting any
linked clips in your production.
Remember to have the identical DS’s running on each side for this.
That would mean 7.6 QFE3.
Cheers
Renier

Subject: Sending Media and Project
Remotely
We may be asked to capture media
into a DS Nitris v7.6 system and FTP both project and .gen files to a location
on the West Coast, where the project and media will be restored on to a DS
Nitris of identical software version. Why? HDCAM Sources are here in New York
where SD and HD dailies are prepared, whereas editorial and online is on the
West Coast.
This is a snap in Media Composer
land: send bin plus the OMFI Media Files folder. In DS world, I've only sent
along projects in the form of an archive, but not media.
Is it as simple as archive the
project, and copy to a drive the .gen files that are associated with the
captured clips? Or is there some other recipe needed to send the actual raw
media along to ensure it re-links with the project once restored?
Simple question I realize, but due
to very tight time constraints, I'd like to get some feedback on where I might
bump into any technical nuances.
