Remus Avram Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Hi all, is there any plan for the future to add the possibility to archive a project? By archiving a project I mean all the sequence, shots, asset builds, tasks, etc, (all data specific to that project) to be moved to new tables. In this way the query will be much faster if the archived projects are not included. Best, Remus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remus Avram Posted September 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Or a tool which sync the project (with all the dependencies) on another ftrack server (a server which contains only the archived projects), and then delete the project from production server. Any other suggestions are welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is s something that we've discussed back and forth for quite some time. We've even been experimenting with solutions similar to what you propose here. However, we haven't made any final decisions on the solution yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remus Avram Posted September 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hi Mattias, thank you for your answer! I am looking forward to this implementation! If you need somebody to test it, just let me know. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
instinct-vfx Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 I'd like to add my vote here. The db is ever growing. We have not even really started publishing assets and versions in our main business lines and the db is getting pretty clunky already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suedlich_t Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 any news on this topic? We need a solution to archive Projects! The best way, would be , to be able to export a whole project (Database+Files) as a zip / rar Archive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it for backup reasons, would you remove it from ftrack after you have exported it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suedlich_t Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 exactly, for backup on LTO drive. yes, we want to remove it then, because of the number of projects we have. in the same way, it would be nice to have the other way, a restore function. So to get the Project back into the database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konstantin Maslyuk Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 The reasons are to decrease ibdata size in memory, at the moment we have it 16GB sized, out of 32GB real memory. And to speed up daily database backups. I expect that database usage is quite effective and old data do not affect on query recent data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
