This is my way of archiving things, been doing this for years: - Open your project - Ctrl-Alt-N to open a new tab - Go back to your project, select the tracks you want to archive - Ctrl-C - Go to the empty project tab - Ctrl-V - Strg-S - Save it as "my project - backups" - Done ! That way you keep the old stuff in its own container, whenever you want to work with the current stuff, only the needed parts are being loaded (waaaay faster)
