Retrieving Bin Files from the Attic Folder
You retrieve files from the Attic folder in the following circumstances:
• When you want to replace current changes to a sequence or clip
with a previous version
• When the current bin file becomes corrupted
The Attic folder contains a folder for each project. When a bin is saved,
a copy of the bin file is stored in the project folder in the Attic folder.
The system adds the file name extension .bak plus a version number to
the bin name. The bin file with the highest version number represents
the latest copy of the bin file.
When you view a project folder in Details view, you can also identify
the most recent backup file based on the name and timestamp of
creation displayed in the Date Modified column.
To retrieve a file from the Attic folder:
1. Minimize the Avid NewsCutter XP application.
2. From the desktop, double-click the Attic folder in the following
location: drive:\Avid\Avid NewsCutter XP\.
The Attic folder opens and displays project folders that contain the
backup files.
3. Double-click the project folder that contains the files you want to
retrieve.
4. Choose Details from the View menu, if the project folder is not
already in the Details view.
The project folder displays the file names and their creation dates.
5. Ctrl+click the files you want to retrieve.
6. Drag the selected backup bin files to the desktop.
This makes a copy of the files, leaving the original files in the Attic
folder.
