For CMA Running Mac OS 10.4

To create a Local Archive, you must first create the folder structure recognized by the CMA. The Creative Local Archive compresses these files into a .dlc format that can be recognized for uploading. Use the following folder structure in preparing files for a local Archive:

•A top level folder, which contains a Media and Objects folder.

•The Media folder must contain subfolders, and valid files may go into those subfolders.

•Only objects with a .x extension are allowed in the Objects folder (no subfolders).

Creating Content Backup Archive

Backups are created using the Content Archive feature. An Content Archive file is a compressed file containing all the User Content from a single fixture along with the assigned DMX values for folders and files.

To create a Content Archive

1.In the Management Client Window select All Server in the left pane.

2.Select the Server with the content you want to backup in the right pane.

3.Select Create Content Archive from the Media Files or 3D Objects drop down menu or the right click popup list.

Deploying a Content Archive

Deploying the Content Archive you created restores the user content to a fixture. To replicate this content to other fixtures on the link, use the Clone Content feature (see Cloning User Content on page 201).
