Archive of design?

Will the brd and sch files load by themselves on another computer? That

is, are the library and all ancillary files included within these files?

 

I was considering sending out the brd file along with the customary

RS-274Gerber files to the fab house since there are some houses that can

work directly from eagle files. Is the brd file then sufficient by

itself to open?

In my experience, one board house (Olimex in Bulgaria) accepts just the

*.brd file to make the board.  I think all the necessary library parts

are included in the *.brd file.

To load them on another computer, that 'puter will need to have a copy

of the correct version of Eagle, of course.

Great!  I keep a copy of the brd and sch files along with the gerbers and

BOM/ placement files as an archive when the board is released for build.

Libraries sometimes change and design files get updated without changing a

rev (stuff happens) so I wanted to be able to be able to revisit how the

board was released should there be a problem. Are there any other files that

should be archived (epf)?

Brd and sch are enough. eagle.epf is not neccessary.
