Moving from Archive-to-tape to Archive-to-disk
Users who want to migrate away from Archive-to-tape and start to use
Archive-to-disk sometimes look for guidelines on migrating existing
archives. Kodak does not want to recommend strategies that put
excessive strain on the tape media or tape device, which could cause
lost data for critical jobs.
Therefore, the Kodak recommendation is to only retrieve the jobs that
you need, using either of the following two approaches:
●
Use a Prinergy Tape Retrieval (PTR) software configuration, which
is a standalone Prinergy server that only retrieves jobs from tape.
●
Retrieve jobs from tape piecemeal as you need them for reprints,
and then archive to disk when you're done.
Use a Prinergy Tape Retrieval (PTR) software
configuration
1. Retrieve jobs from tape piecemeal as you need them for reprints.
Note: For more information, see the
Prinergy Tape Retrieval Software User
Guide
.
2. Do a job export.
3. Import the job export on the main production Prinergy system.
4. Archive the job to disk when you've finished reprinting the job.
The drawback is that folders (such as
UserDefined
and so on) need
to be manually moved to the production system, and job history is not
included.
Retrieve jobs from tape as needed and then archive to disk
1. Retrieve jobs from tape piecemeal as you need them for reprints.
2. Archive the job to disk when you've finished reprinting the job.
The drawback is that this approach will be impossible in Prinergy 6,
where Windows 2008 will be required, and therefore Prinergy will no
longer support tape devices. Customers who are using this approach
by the time Prinergy 6 is available will need to either:
●
Abandon any tape-based jobs that haven't yet been retrieved and
re-archived to disk, or
●
Adopt Prinergy Tape Retrieval software
