RESOURCES - Archiving Demos

The difficulty of Digital Archiving is closely related to its data centric nature. It is unlike back-up which is essentially server centric and where one can simply make a copy of each and every file.

Digital Archiving means:
• identification of which files/folders need to be archived
• adding meta data related to the content
• assuring reliable and permanent storage
• enabling future search and retrieval

The basics of Digital Archiving and how to achieve numerous benefits by integrating the appropriate archiving technology into your network are explained in this <<Introductory archiving demo>>

DAX File & Folder Archive (FFA) Software provides a flexible platform for automating any digital archive requirement and environment. The FFA platform is explained in this <<Introductory FFA demo>>

FFA provides archiving services to the network. A simple and explanatory way to show this, is through the manual interface. Users can simply initiate archiving through FFA´s right click functionality.

Back-ups can also be completed with FFA. This will also be demonstrated through the manual interface demo. <<FFA right-click back-up demo >>  (length: 1 min., 8 sec.)

As different implementations pose different requirements on the metadata, system administrators simply can change the metadata fields to adapt the archiving system to their specific needs.
