Although we no longer use scripture rolls, the mechanism hasn\u00b4t changed much. The files we put in an Archive today are those that are no longer needed for daily production. This means the Archive is actually a data migration. Files are moved to the Archive and deleted from the source. This is already the main definition for Archive and distinction from a Backup which\u00a0duplicates what is still being worked on. A synonym for Archive is data, file or media preservation, emphasizing the long-term character of the Archive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div><div lang=\"x-wrapper\"><div lang=\"x-layout__inner\"><div><p lang=\"x-size-16\">There can be exceptions to this rule, but more on that later.<\/p><p lang=\"x-size-16\">Why archive data in the first place? What Archive means: the archive process is a data migration from production storage to long-term Archive storage. As a result it frees up space on high performance production storage. If all completed projects move to the Archive it becomes the \u201cSingle Source of Truth\u201d or the only place to look for any finalized files. This can save countless hours of searching files for re-use or returning customers.<\/p><\/div><div><h2><strong>Start by planning for the long-term<\/strong><\/h2><p lang=\"x-size-16\">Whether the archive is meant for video footage, digitized film, photos, sounds, documents or any other files, planning is extremely important to get the best fit for the respective purpose and workflow. Investing time here, pays of later in many ways.<\/p><p lang=\"x-size-16\">Since the Archive is a long-term project, you need to carefully consider\u00a0who is involved now and in the future. A set of questions helps to discover all relevant actors and stakeholders.<\/p><p lang=\"x-size-16\">All parties and perspectives need to be gathered and their input documented. The more perspectives can be gathered from people involved, the better the support for the Archive project will be. The usefulness improves also with multiple perspectives. Think ahead and speculate about future tasks, changes in the workflow and new people entering the company. What needs to be put in the Archive now in terms of metadata, what needs to be documented so that it will be useful for the future?<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5136530 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5136530\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.archiware.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Spotlight-3-Graphik-1-1024x682.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1405\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.archiware.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Spotlight-3-Graphik-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.archiware.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Spotlight-3-Graphik-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.archiware.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Spotlight-3-Graphik-1-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7fc5187 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7fc5187\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-7fc5187{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d8742db elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d8742db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><strong>Use cases<\/strong><\/h2><p lang=\"x-size-16\">The most efficient way to discover important factors for a system that is not yet in place is to write use cases. Use cases are stories where you describe in detail who is doing what with a system to fulfill what task.<\/p><p lang=\"x-size-16\">Find all those involved in running and using the Archive later. Who are the stakeholders? What are the preconditions?<\/p><p lang=\"x-size-16\">A use case could look like this:<br \/><em>A person (describe role or position) is signed a task where he needs (describe assets, files). He has the following information available (describe). He turns to the Archive to search for files that fit the assigned task. He searches for (describe). He browses the entries in the Archive catalog and decides which ones to restore (describe how). He\/someone else triggers the restore process. Some time later the restored files are restored to (where) and used by (whom).<\/em><\/p><p lang=\"x-size-16\">Try to come up with several of these scenarios and complete them with details. It makes sense to sit together with your colleagues to think about future scenarios and details.

While stone (engraving) retains information for \u00a0very long,\u00a0its information density is very low. Hard disk storage on the other end of the spectrum has an incredible storage density but a very short lifespan and depends on other technology to be available to read. LTO tape has a\u00a0lifespan of several decades, but compared to historical dimensions this is still short. Therefore, migration is an integral part of any digital Archive. LTO makes this easy since each new generation is capable of\u00a0reading media from two previous generations (e.g. LTO-7 can read LTO-5 tapes). There is a re-purchase guarantee by some vendors of 10 years that creates a great deal of flexibility for migrations. Right now and for the foreseeable future, LTO tape seems to be the only and most proven Archive medium. No other storage technology today can rival its density, durability, read\/write performance and price per TB. Also, the sheer volume of the market and its global use in big industries like finance, insurance, broadcast, science, etc.\u00a0make it very likely to continue in its role. It remains to be seen if cold disk storage or other technologies develop enough momentum to attract relevant market share.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4bf42d4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4bf42d4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"382\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.archiware.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Spotlight-3-Graphik-3-1024x521.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1407\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.archiware.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Spotlight-3-Graphik-3.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.archiware.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Spotlight-3-Graphik-3-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.archiware.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Spotlight-3-Graphik-3-768x391.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e70516 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4e70516\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>.elementor-element-4e70516{display:none !important}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bf6c6a5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bf6c6a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div><div>A recent report about media ageing shows how critical the situation is, especially for analog media like video, film and audio that needs to be digitized and archived to survive and be accessible.<\/div><\/div><div><div>\u00a0<\/div><p lang=\"x-size-16\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dpconline.org\/newsroom\/not-so-new\/859-new-dpc-tech-watch-report-preserving-moving-pictures-and-sound\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.dpconline.org\/newsroom\/not-so-new\/859-new-dpc-tech-watch-report-preserving-moving-pictures-and-sound<\/a><\/p><p lang=\"x-size-16\">As of now, the main decision for Archive storage remains between disk, tape and cloud storage.

Years after files have been archived, nobody might remember any specifics such as file names.<br \/>So the only option is to search for the right keyword, description or parameter \u2013 or in other words: metadata. There are two kinds of metadata: descriptive and technical.<br \/><strong>Descriptive metadata<\/strong>\u00a0needs human input like who is visible in a scene, what product was filmed, what location was used etc.<\/p><p lang=\"x-size-16\"><strong>Technical metadata<\/strong>\u00a0can be the type of camera used, lens, resolution, codec etc. Automatic generation of metadata (in cameras or during ingest) is advancing fast, one example being the shot detection in FCP X. These types of automatically created metadata can be very helpful. Additional descriptive metadata is &#8211; in most cases &#8211; a must. AI services that recognize content and speech are growing fast and will add tremendously to the metadata field in the future.<\/p><p lang=\"x-size-16\">In some cases, a third kind of metadata might be needed, such as\u00a0<strong>administrative metadata<\/strong>\u00a0describing rights for use and distribution, for example.<\/p><p lang=\"x-size-16\">A\u00a0<strong>metadata schema<\/strong>\u00a0is the set of technical and descriptive metadata that is used for an Archive and enables fast retrieval of files. It needs careful consideration and planning for the future. The combination of terms might be unique because it has to serve the requirements of your workflow or organization. The use cases that you put together should point towards the necessary items that need to be included in your specific schema.<\/p><p lang=\"x-size-16\">One important aspect of metadata is\u00a0<strong>consistency<\/strong>. Consistent tagging of archived files adds tremendous value to the Archive. Ideally, anyone involved in searching assets later should be able to easily\u00a0find and restore them.
