Tiered Archiving
The PoINT Tiered Archive File System (PoINT TAFS) provides a storage hierarchy using a variety of technologies. This architecture provides a solution to overcome the individual limitation of a specific technology. The user has a wide variety of options to define the level of security and select the combination of hardware and technologies to be used. Possible configurations vary from a simple USB hard disk as simple archive device to a mirrored volume set in a jukebox with additional replication by a CD/DVD/BD production system.

Data Security
In order to recognize possible manipulations of the archived data, digital fingerprints of the files and of the complete medium are encoded and stored on the media itself and also in the database. Thus any individual archive medium can be examined for consistency and compared with the database records. Additionally the files in the origin folder can be compared with the database or with the archived files. Documents which have been deleted or changed are identified and reported to the administrator. An optional encryption module further protects the entire file system, preventing external access to the archived data. The combination of a system key and different archive keys makes the files illegible outside of the specific point Archiver installation. This combines the advantages of removable media with the security characteristics of closed systems.

Archive
The point Archiver periodically monitors network folders and copies or moves files to removable optical media according to defined filters. In situations where files are not moved and therefore not deleted from the origin folder, configurable criteria can be defined (e.g. date, archive bit, file contents) to identify and archive different versions of the same named file. Search and Retrieve
point Archiver’s displays by the “Directory Tree” the structure of the archived data in a view similar to the Windows Explorer. The file information (e.g. name, size, date of preparation) and the name of the corresponding archive medium can be queried for each stored file version. During the retrieval process of a file, a directory or a complete archive, the point Archiver generates a list of all necessary media and requests the user to insert these into the publishing system. Only the requested files are automatically copied into the selected target directory.

Protection of your investment
The point Archiver supports standardized, durable and economical optical drives and media (CD, DVD and BD). The user can check already produced archive media in oder to control the quality and create multiple copies if necessary. If the standardized UDF file system is used, the data can also be accessed in single drives under virtually every operating system (Windows, Linux, UNIX, Mac OSX).
