+How it works:
+When archiving, the video files are moved to the archive disk, index and info is copied.
+So the recording stays in the recmenu of VDR, but it doesn't take much space. A file "hdd"
+is also copied from the archive disk to the recdir. It holds the archive-id and marks the
+recording as an archive.
+When playing such a recording, the user is prompted to insert the archive disk with the
+Id. Then the disk gets mounted, and the files on it are symlinked to the recdir. Then playing
+starts. After playing, the symlinks get removed again. The disk gets unmounted after all.
