Diagnose Project
You can find this function the desktop Tra s h shortcut menu. It is used to recover Projects and objects that
were damaged or lost because of a computer malfunction, or a manipulation of files.
If a problem was detected and if the recovery was successful, you will find a new Rack-Folder in the Pro-
ject, named Diagnose Project.
Backing Up and Restoring Projects
Yo u c an b a c k u p a l l Project data, including Media and render data, on storage media such as hard disks,
CDs or DVDs and import it from these media back to Avid Liquid.
This function is suitable for archiving entire Projects. It’s worthwhile backing up the Project media data,
especially when it would be very difficult to recreate it (e.g. tapes without timecodes, live recordings, no
access to sources). Depending on the scope of the Project, however, this can be a very lengthy process and
may require a great deal of storage space.
It is possible to back up and restore Project, Media or render data separately.
Note that all data is copied and nothing is automatically deleted. Make sure you have performed the Bak-
kup/Restore correctly before
you delete your data.
