-Avoid using any characters other than letters and numbers when naming your session. Avoid white spaces, accented letters, !@#$%*()+, periods, commas, etc. Use dashes or underscores if you like. For example, instead of "My Great Session!", prefer "My_Great_Session", or "MyGreatSession", or "my-great-session". Instead of "Açaí", write "Acai" (without accented letters), etc. Once you have created your Ardour session, do **not** manually rename any folders or files that belong to the Session.

 ## Moving a session to another computer or disk
 
-If you need to move your Ardour session to another computer, or if you would like to make a backup of it on an external drive, *you must copy the entire folder* containing all of the files mentioned above. It is **not** enough to copy just the *.ardour file.

+The convenient way to do so is to use `Session > Archive...` command. A single
