To restore a backup:
 Click File >Restore Backup.
 Select the backup you want to restore and click Restore.
5.5 Exporting a Project
When a Project is exported, a Channel Pack is created. Options are:
• Export to disk, for example to create a backup: create a Channel Pack and export to the specified
destination folder.
• Export to the TX/MAM database: create a Channel Pack and export to the TX/MAM database
when the design is ready, or to share with other people working on different workstations or
locations. Once exported to the TX/MAM database, the Channel Pack can be used for scheduling.
You can specify the Project’s activation period during export, or at a later stage.
• Export to Playout: create a Channel Pack and export to a playout server for 3 rd party scheduling or
testing purposes.
Before you can export Projects, at least one CPK (Channel Pack) Asset Type and Format Asset Type
must be available in Cobalt/TX/MAM.
To be able to work with Exports, you also need read/write rights for the appropriate Channels and CPK
(Channel Pack) Asset Types. These user rights are set in Cobalt Asset Manager.
Channel Packs can be validated against a test schedule. For more information see chapter 12.
