Note: Content that is not local to the session but which was used in it is not deleted. For
example, you may have added still images to your playlist directly from a USB thumb-
drive, doing so without actually importing the files into the session. Those external files
will not be deleted.

ACKUP
In another section of the Startup Screen (Session Page>Manage) there is a feature
that allows you to back up the current session to another storage volume.
The Restore Session Backup link at the bottom of the Session List (for each drive) is
provided to compliment this feature. To restore a session you have previously
archived, click Restore Session Backup (Figure 98), and use the file explorer provided
to select a .SessionBackup file.

Click Open, and a progress gauge will track the restoration process. In due course,
the newly restored session will be added to the Session List for the specified drive.
Hint: Restoring a session that has a lot of content can take considerable time. Be
judicious, then, if considering a restoration shortly before a scheduled live production.
O PENING A S ESSION
Just as you were able to select an icon on the ring using the left and right arrow keys,
you can highlight a name in the Session List using the Up and Down arrow keys; then
press the Enter key to open it (or simply click the name of a session to open it
immediately).
Selecting a session takes you away from the Home Page to the Sessions Screen.
