The archive can be stored:

Note
titleAttention!
  • For local or remote archives, it is not recommended to use the archive as a single large volume.
  • It is more practical to split the archive into several volumes and locate them on different hardware devices. 
  • We recommend you to create an archive with volumes no larger than 30 TB each.

Cloud archiveThe archive can be located
on several logical disks of the Server
The archive can be stored in multiple remote storages
The archive can be stored in one cloud storage
On one logical disk for one archive, you can create only one archive volume, which occupies either a file of a set size or the entire partition (logical disk)
The archive
  • Archive can contain several volumes that can be in the form of a file or a partition.
  • Archive can either have a block or object storage type 
RemoteArchive can be stored in several remote storagesArchive can be stored only as a file of a specified size

CloudArchive can be stored in one cloud storageArchive
The archive
can contain several volumes of unlimited size. You can change the size of the archive without restarting ngp
The archive can contain multiple volumes, which can be in the form of a file or a partition

Data from a local, remote, or cloud archive can be copied to other local, remote, or cloud archives (see Configuring data replication).

You can create an archive based on the following solutios (see General information about the cloud archive):

  1. Amazon S3.
  2. Microsoft Azure.
  3. Wasabi.
  4. Huawei Cloud.
  5. Seagate Lyve Cloud.
  6. MinIO. AxxonSoft tested the RELEASE.2021-08-05T22-01-19Z version

General algorithm for configuring an archive

To configure an archive, do the followingYou can configure the archive as follows:

  1. Create an archive (see Creating archives).
  2. Configure recording of camera streams
    3. from video cameras
  3. to archive (see Configuring recording to an archive).

  4. Configure data replication, if necessary (see Configuring data replication). Data from a local, remote, or cloud archive can be copied to other local, remote, or cloud archives.

You can also connect external archives—a set of video recordings with time links.

Requirements for disk space arrangement

  • When you create an archive, note that disk must not be full completely. For the correct operation of the system, it is necessary to leave some space free. General recommendations for arranging free space:
    • If archive size is less than 1 TB, you need about 100 MB of free space.
    • If archive size is between 1 TB and 10 TB, you need about 1 GB of free space.
    • If archive size is larger than 10 TB, you need about 10 GB of free space.
  • For archives with object storage type, we do not recommend using an archive as a single volume of large size. You must split the archive into several volumes and place them on different physical devices. If placing several archives on one physical disk is unavoidable, free space must be N times larger (N is the number of archives).
  • We recommend creating archive volumes of no more than 30 TB each.
