Overview:
The ArcPoint includes
PoINT Archiver software which is a Windows Server application providing
a secure and cost effective process to identify, monitor and archive
relevant data in a network. It works with leading Disc Publishing systems
to provide a central “console” from which you can manage the
archival of data throughout the network. Archiver periodically monitors
network folders and copies or moves files to removable optical media
according to Administrator defined filters. Additionally, criteria can
be defined to identify and archive multiple versions of the same named
file.
Archive and Compliance
Point Archiver provides the security and authenticity of information
which is required to fulfill the constantly rising number of compliance
regulations. Archive jobs monitor existing data folders and files. An
intuitive Wizard interface provides step by step procedures which allow
the administrator to specify:
* Name for the Archive
* Media type and Target Device
* Data source folders, files & extensions
* Archiving conditions
* Migration Rules
Monitoring and Migration
Based upon Archiving Conditions files within the monitored Data Source
folders are copied or moved to the Archive Volume. Conditions include
size, time, hash value and attribute changes.
Automated Disc Publishing
Based upon Migration rules each Archive is automatically written to
a CD, DVD or BD Disc and labeled. A complete database of all Archive
Volumes is maintained, and all folders, files and versions are viewable.
All media are produced using a standardized file system (udf) assuring
the accuracy and recoverability of the data.
Search and Retrieve
Individual files, directories or complete archives can be searched and
copied back to hard disk. Point Archiver’s “Directory Tree”
displays the structure of the archived data in a view similar to the
Windows Explorer. The file information (e.g. name, size, date) and the
name of the corresponding archive medium can be queried for each stored
file version. Using the Retrieval Module, a Point Archiver database
query identifies and generates a list of all necessary media and instructs
the user to place these onto the publishing system. The requested files
are automatically copied into the selected target directory, which can
be the original location or any specified directory location.
Data Security
During the migration process, all significant information is stored
in a database. Point Archiver can check the integrity of archived files
and verify if a medium or file was manipulated. This assures the trustworthiness
of the archive and its documents. In order to recognize possible manipulations
of the archived data, digital fingerprints of the files as well as 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 provides protection from unauthorized access.
