If you do not mind re-running the analysis to access the results then following files need to be retained for backing up and archiving the model data:
- SAP2000 - .SDB, .SBK, .$2K
- ETABS - .EDB, .EBK, .$ET
- SAFE - .FDB, .FBK, .$SF
- Perform3D
The data files for Perform3D are stored in a user-specified folder the the requisite files to access the model are as shown below. The folder named "DynaAnalysis" can be deleted.

To avoid having to run analysis to review results, certain files should be [archived|kb:Archiving analysis models] as a back-up to model data. Depending on the software, these requisite files include:
* [SAP2000|sap2000:home]: .SDB, .SBK, .$2K
* [ETABS|etabs:Home]: .EDB, .EBK, .$ET
* [SAFE|safe:Home]: .FDB, .FBK, .$SF
* [PERFORM-3D|perform:Home]: data files are stored in a user-defined folder. The requisite files necessary to access the model and its data are shown in Figure 1. The folder named DynaAnalysis may be deleted.
