About archiving assets
You can store your assets on a permanent archive, thus allowing you to remove
high-resolution material from your server that you don’t need for immediate playout.
You can also transfer assets from one online MDI device to another. You can archive
or transfer a single asset or several assets at once.
Whether you archive or transfer an asset depends on where you are copying or moving
the asset to an offline or an online location. The procedure is the same.
NOTE: A Logical Asset can include references to more than one physical asset
(e.g., an online asset on a K2 server as well as an archived copy of the same asset).
In that case, only the primary physical asset (the first online asset listed) is
transferred.

Archiving or transferring an asset
Whether you archive or transfer an asset depends on where you are copying or moving
the asset to an offline or an online location; the procedure is the same.
Tip: If you plan to archive or transfer assets frequently to the same folder, add that
folder to your favorites. This creates a shortcut in the menu, allowing you to select that
folder directly from the menu instead of browsing to the transfer location.
To archive or transfer an asset:
1. In the Asset List view, select the asset. To select multiple assets, hold down
Ctrl
while you select the assets.
2. Right-click and select Move To. (If you prefer to, you can select Copy To and
delete the asset after it is moved.)
•
Online: transfers the asset to another MDI device.
•
Offline: archives the asset.
NOTE: For the K2 BaseCamp Express, only the near-line storage is available
as an archive destination.
•
Browse: lets you navigate to a local archive/transfer destination.
3. If you have added the destination folder to your favorites, select that folder from
the drop-down list. Otherwise, select
Browse
and navigate to the destination folder.
4. If you are transferring an asset, skip to step 7.
