Specifying Archive Settings
The Asset Tracking/Archive Settings view lets you select options for how the Interplay Engine
operates with the Interplay Archive Engine and the Archive Provider. The view displays different
settings, depending on where you are logged in.
If you are logged into an Interplay Archive Engine, the settings include:
• Allow duplicate media files )
- This option lets you choose whether the Archive Provider archives duplicate versions of
the media.
• Allow Metadata Archive
- This option lets you choose whether the AAF metadata for Avid assets is sent to the tape
archive along with the media.
If you are logged into an Interplay Engine, the settings include:
• Archive server name
• Archive Segment size
• Use best effort restore
These settings are described in the following topics. For more information about using an
Interplay Archive Engine, see Interplay Best Practices and the Interplay Media Services Setup
and User’s Guide.
Archiving Duplicate Versions of Media
By default, the Archive Provider does not archive duplicate versions of media, however, you can
choose to have it do so.
When you archive a master clip, subclip, or sequence for the first time, the Archive Provider
automatically archives all the associated media. If you are archiving another subclip or sequence
that refers to the original master clip, the Archive Provider does not automatically archive a
duplicate version of the associated media. The Archive Provider archives all of the metadata
associated with the new subclip or sequence but it does not archive duplicate versions of the
media. Selecting “Allow duplicate media file(s)” tells the Archive Provider to create multiple
versions of the media files.
The Interplay Archive Engine avoids duplication by default. If you prefer to have the Archive
Engine archive duplicate media files, you can use the Interplay Administrator to change the
setting.
This setting appears only when you log in to an Archive Engine database.
