2.1. Archive and Restore Bin Hierarchy
When IP2Archive is installed, an Archive and Restore bin hierarchy is created in the
Database Explorer of IPDirector.
This bin hierarchy allows users to easily archive and (partially) restore clips by a simple
drag-and-drop operation. It also allows them to easily keep track of the clip archive or
restore status. Each bin represents namely a stage in the archive or restore process. The
location of a clip in a particular bin betrays its status. When the status of a clip changes, it
is moved to the bin that corresponds to its status.
In the example below 6 bins have been created for the archive process and 5 for the
restore process. An additional bin has been created for generating subclips (see below).
The IP2Archive Communicator will monitor these bins, pick up the archive and restore
requests and insert them in the IP2Archive database. Depending on their archive status, it
will move the clips to the corresponding bin.
