A tape library (storage) is a device designed for long-term storage of large amounts of information.
Picvario supports integration with the Archiware P5 data management system, which allows integration with tape storage.
Connecting tape storage allows you to add original files of the assets to the archive and restore them from the archive. If the asset is completely deleted from Picvario, the archived original will remain in the tape storage and will not be linked to any assets.
To connect Picvario to Archiware P5, follow these steps:
- Go to the administrative panel, Home > Client_Storages > Client storages.
- Create a new storage with storage type — Archiware P5.
- Fill in the following details:
Server – the server address
Login – the login for the server
Password – password for the server
Client.
PlainID.
- Click Save.
There can only be one active storage of Archiware P5 type, the second one cannot be added.
