[GRASS-user] how to archive rasters from a workspace

[Patton, Eric]

Try Hamish's script r.pack - it was designed to safely package a raster for
moving around and sharing on other computers. It also does some rudimentary
checking that the destination Location/Mapset are the same projection as the
raster you're unpacking. You'll need its sibling script, r.unpack to extract
into a destination Location.

Subject: [GRASS-user] how to archive rasters from a workspace

Hello!

I imported a lot of raster data into a location. I completed what I 
wanted to do and now I have this 11Gbyte dataset in my location 
unnecessary. Maybe I need it again in the future. As importing lasted 
for a half day, I'd like to keep in in this format (GRASS CELL) also 
projected to this location.

Q: *** Is there a way to archive a certain raster set and then delete it

from the location, with the option to load it back again later?***

Thanks

Robert
