To preserve both the project file and its media for safekeeping, which feature should you use?

• A. Export a standalone video
• B. Copy the project file only
• C. Backup project and media
• D. Archive only the media files

Answer: (C)

Backing up both the project and its media gives you a complete safety net: it preserves the project’s structure, settings, and all the assets it uses in one recoverable package. The feature that does this is designed to package the current project data together with every media file it references, so you can restore the whole workflow later without missing clips or relinking stuff.

Exporting a standalone video only saves the final render, not the project or source media. Copying the project file only keeps the project data but not the media assets. Archiving just the media files preserves the footage themselves but leaves you without the project instructions and links to those files. So, backing up both project and media is the right choice for complete safekeeping.
