Re: CatDV Re-archive footage with Cache-A

Scott,

When we enabled multi-volume and Cache-A did ask for another tape (through the web interface) when the first was full. However, we have not successfully recovered files from a spanned set. In fact, the Cache-A plug-in for CatDV doesn't seem to be performing reliably at all and we aren't using it or the Cache-A at this point. I can't detail everything we've tried but basically, it doesn't work. We get conflicting stories from our integrator, CatDV and Cache-A about whether or not we can use spanning. It's been very frustrating because we can't get a straight answer out of anyone.

Right now I have a technician dedicated to getting it figured out. I personally can't spend more time on it as we have actual projects to get done. I would be happy to update you on our progress and what we discover. If you don't hear from me in a while give me a nudge and I will update you here.

Thanks,
Jeff
