Archiving allows you to backup your albums onto CD's or DVD's. These backups provide an extra degree of safety to ensure your albums and pictures are not lost due to accidental erasing or failures of hardware. In addition, archiving provides a mechanism to only keep select albums or pictures on your PC while still having complete search and thumbnail display of all your images. This allows efficient management of disk space while maximizing the use of your images.
Archiving is the process of saving the images onto the CD's or DVD's. When you create an archive, you choose what albums and pictures you want to put onto the media (CD/DVD). FotoAlbum keeps track of what archive(s) each image has been saved to. After archiving, you can choose to remove archived images from your PC in order to free space. Any time that you try to view an archived image that is no longer on your PC, it will prompt you to insert one of the archives the image exists on. At that point, the image will be restored from the archive and you can view or print the image like it was always on your system. An important aspect of archiving is that images can be archived (backed up) without necessarily removing them from your system.
