Our setup:
1 main branch (29 recorders) and 4 remotes sites (23 recorders) totaling 52 recorders.
All running Reporter 5.6.1 with warehouse client 5.6.1.
Warehouse enforced archiving sends recording to a NAS device that is located at each site.
Each night a script runs that copies media from each NAS to a SAN at the main site and if older than 6 months the media is removed from the NAS.
2 Warehouse 5.6.1 servers running on server 2008. 1 is for the current NAS media. 1 is for the archived SAN media and lognotes.
Currently
Is there a way to automate/schedule FTR Manager so that it will migrate 6 month old recordings from one warehouse to another? This is how we are doing it now (via scheduled nightly script):
Robocopy \\NAS-Server\FTR_Recordings \\SAN-Server\FTR_Recordings /R:1 /W:1 /E /MOV /MINAGE:180 /IS
Robocopy \\NAS-Server\FTR_Recordings \\SAN-Server\FTR_Recordings /R:1 /W:1 /E
So first it MOVES everything that is 180 days old, then it makes a COPY of everything else that is left.
Then on the SAN Warehouse server I schedule a sync:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\FTR\ForTheRecord\FTR.Warehouse.Synchroniser.exe" -add -trim -processrecordings -processlogsheets -UseTRS
Is there a better way to do either part of that process?
Since the media is removed from the NAS when it is older I schedule a sync without -add:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\FTR\ForTheRecord\FTR.Warehouse.Synchroniser.exe" -trim -processrecordings -processlogsheets -UseTRS
Is there a better way to do that?
Does removing -add actually save any time or should I just leave it in for completion sake?
Is there any automated way to migrate media from one warehouse to another without having to do a sync?
Is there any way to have the Warehouses archive/migrate on a schedule?
