There are a few other items you should archive in addition to the library. You can regenerate them when you reopen your library. Render files are not copied across libraries. However, you can more easily share this media later with multiple editors (on a storage area network for example). Consolidating to an external location results in two items to move: the library and the Media folder.Consolidating managed media within the library provides you with one library file that has everything you need later.Click Consolidate or choose File > Consolidate Library Files and then click OK.If you want to adjust the storage locations for the new archive library, select it and choose File > Library Properties (or press Control-Command-J) to open the Library Properties Inspector.Click OK. The new library (with storage settings inherited from the original library) appears in the Libraries list.If you want to include optimized or proxy media (and copying time and storage space aren't issues), select the Optimized Media checkbox, the Proxy Media checkbox, or both.

You can archive a project as a short-term solution to free up storage space, or you can archive for long-term storage and retrieve it when it needs updating or repurposing.
