- In the **Project & Storage** dialog, users can see all of the stored projects and:
  - Manage stored projects
  - Delete unwanted projects
  - Copy a project to another storage location using the **Relocate** option
  - Set the **Archive** or **Import** folder for a Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS project (*.raf)
- To create a RAF file, select the project, click the **Export** button, and select **Export Project Archive**.
- To create a copy of project files in the selected location, select the project, click the **Export** button, and select **Export Fast Archive**.
- To import a saved archive file, simply place the RAF file in the **Project Storage** directory and then click the **Import** button.
- Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS will provide a list of any archives it finds in the location that can be added to the active Project list.

## **Unsupported Storage Locations for Connected Projects**

To ensure data integrity and optimal performance, please do *not* create new projects, store connected projects, or relocate Cyclone Register 360 PLUS projects to the following types of storage:

- Cloud-synced drives (e.g., OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox)
- Network Attached Storage (NAS)
- Network drives or shared folders

Using these storage types for connected or relocated projects may result in:

- Data corruption
- Project loading failures
- Unexpected data loss

For best results, always work with projects stored on a local, internal drive.

## **Sharing, Relocating, or Backing Up Projects**

If the user chooses to share, relocate, or back up Cyclone Register 360 PLUS project data to a network drive, NAS, or cloud-synced drive, the following workflow is recommended:

1. Using the **Export | Export Project Archive** option, export the project as a RAF file to a local drive.
2. Manually copy the exported RAF file to the desired network or cloud location.

This approach helps avoid data integrity issues and ensures the project remains safe and accessible.

## **Repair Tool**

The Repair tool looks at the files inside of a project and determines if files are missing or corrupted. Some files can be repaired but others that cannot be repaired will be shown to the user as setups that need to be either removed or reimported.

Workflow:

1. Select a project and click the **Repair** button.
