Best way to archive an entire project, logic, qsys, and NIOS software

I am using Quartus Prime 18.1 Lite. I have a project that contains VHDL Logic, a Platform Designer Qsys system, and NIOS Software in the SBT for NIOS. What is the best way to archive the entire project so that I can be resurrected at a later date without a lot of effort?

    From the Project menu, select Archive Project. You can quickly create a .qar file (Quartus archive) or click Advanced to customize what is put in the .qar. That will archive the hardware. For the software, I don't know if SBT has an archiving utility, but you can just zip up wherever you have selected for the location of your application and BSP projects.

  • Thanks for your response.

    I take it that there is not one method to archive both the hardware and software of a project. Is this correct? Do the hardware and software need to be archived separately?
