• Type: The archive type. Please select “SB native” if you are not using Archiware P5 or Masstore
• Path: The path (a.k.a archive destination) for projects archived using this strategy

  • Plain: Strawberry archives the project and media files without compressing them. It archives the projects folder structure as it is.
  • Tarball: Puts the project & media files of a project into a tarball before archiving it.
• Check
  • Fingerprint: Sequential integrity check on a file that only detects serious file damages but no minor defects.
  • CRC: CRCs are specifically designed to protect against common types of errors on data transmissions, where they can provide quick and reasonable assurance of the integrity of data delivered. However, they are not suitable for protecting against intentional alteration of data.
  • None: No data integrity check at all
• Enable/Disable Strategy: Define if an archive strategy is available for users (enabled) or not (disabled)
