1. About the Application
General Description
The Deep Archive Manager can be considered the portal to the deep archive system. It
allows librarians to manage the nearline storage by archiving and restoring clips to and
from the deep archive.
It displays the clips that have been requested in IPDirector to be archived or restored.
In the first case, the clips are displayed as archive candidates. A user can manually make
a selection and accept or reject clips. The accepted clips will be archived to LTO tape, the
refused clips will remain on the nearline storage. The archive process of each clip can be
monitored. Once the process has been completed, the user gets an overview of all the
clips that have been archived.
In the second case, the user can monitor the restore process of each clip.
Deep Archive Manager also allows the user to delete the high-resolution video file of
archived clips from the nearline storage, to purge archived clips from LTO tape or to
restore archived clips to the nearline storage. Again, the status and progress of each of
these processes can be monitored.
Deep Archive Manager can also be configured to automatically archive, refuse and purge
particular types of clips, and to remove their high-resolution video file from the nearline
storage.

Controller is replaced by File Transfer Daemon.
