Prerequisites
- Strawberry’s included archive type,
Standard Endpoint, can archive and retrieve projects to and from mount points visible to the Strawberry server. This typically includes archive storage mounted via SMB or NFS and linear tape file systems (LTFS). - To connect to a cloud endpoint such as AWS or Wasabi, please visit the manual’s related chapter.
Configuration
1. Log in to the Administration panel and click on the Archive tab
2. Expand the Archive Strategies bar
3. Click on the Add button located below the archive strategy list and provide the following information:
Name
The human-readable name of the archive strategy.
Type
The archive type. Select Standard Endpoint.
Path
The path to the archive destination for this strategy.
Transmission Check
The type of check performed before and after the archival operation.
- Fingerprint: Sequential integrity check on a file that only detects serious file damages but no minor defects.
- CRC: CRCs are specifically designed to protect against common types of errors on data transmissions, where they can provide quick and reasonable assurance of the integrity of data delivered.
- sha2: SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2) is a family of cryptographic hash functions designed to provide a high level of data integrity and security by producing a unique fixed-size hash value from input data, widely used in various security applications and protocols.
- None: Fingerprinting is disabled.
Existing destination
Define what should happen when someone archives a project but a project with the same name already exists in the archive destination.
- Suffix: Archives the project anyway and adds a numeric suffix to the newly archived project.
- Overwrite: Attempts to overwrite the project in the destination. Please note that this will only work when the archive endpoint is a real file system to which Strawberry has full access. Whether or not this works with linear tape file systems (LTFS) depends on whether the archive itself supports it. Strawberry has no control over that.
- Abort: Aborts the archive operation with an error.
4. Click on the Create button to create the archive strategy.
