Re: footage archive options?
by Tom David on Jul 10, 2008 at 3:54:40 am

Based on my previous experiences with DLT tape I presume that retrieving a single media clip from a data tape archive would require re-loading the entire archive. Which probably means wiping out whatever is currently on your drive array (so you'd probably need to archive the CURRENT contents in order to load the old). Hmmm... sounds like a lot of work.

Not all models anyway - Quantam LTO drives (for example) work similar to an FTP interface which operates through your web-browser. Plug the drive into your ethernet, type in its IP address, then your browser software reads the Quantum software, and off you go. Retrieve whole folders, or single files. Up to you - and no need for SCSI interface etc - just plugs straight into your ethernet.

Cheers,
Tom
