Copy project and Archive project

Hello,

When I copy a project, it took to 5 minutes but when I chose to archive it, it took only about 1 minute.

So what's different between Copy project and Archive project?

thanks!

    I would speculate that copy project copies the databases as well. Whereas archiving only saves enough to rebuild the project from pre-synthesis

    correct me if I'm wrong

    Exactly.. While you can also extend the time to archive the project by configuring to add more 'n more files to the archive...
