How to preserve projects in Eclipse?

We have a lot of old projects and have to keep them in project's
structure in Eclipse.
I don't know the way how to preserve and restore projects with all
thier settings.

I tried to all different ways to export/import (File Structure, zip)
but it doesn't work.

Is there any particular way to save/restore ptojects with whole entire
structure and settings?
Please, don't answer "read documentation". I alredy did it. Without
results.

CVS is not good answer too. Too many projects and, maybe they will
never be used again.

Probably I missed something but I can't find any solution.

I am not sure I understand where the problem is. Eclipse lets you delete the
project, without destroying the files behind it. Then you can simply burn
the project directory onto a CD, or back it up to a tape, or just move it to
a far corner of your hard disk - whatever.

When you need to restore the project, just put its directory back to the old
location, and use Import feature of Eclipse.

Have you tried it?

Actually, you are supposed to respond to the NG, rather than to the personal
e-mail, because other participants are entitled to learn the answers to
publicly asked questions. NOSPAM is used for a reason - should be
self-explanatory.
