Replication of archives the archive data refers to constant, block-by-block the copying of fixed-size blocks of information (video, audio, metadata) from one archive to another archive within the same domain. The primary purpose of data replication is to ensure long-term storage and access to multimedia recordings data on remote storage devices.

both the sender and

receiver of data. 

Note
titleAttention!

Replication occurs as information blocks are accumulated. 1 block may contain more than a minute of video.

Note
titleAttention!
Replication is performed
  • In a block archive, replication is performed as blocks of information accumulate and only to the end of
the
  • an archive.
It is not possible to overwrite existing data in the archive.
  • In an object archive, blocks of information can be replicated to any part of an archive. To transfer the old data from Archive 1 to Archive 2 and continue
writing
  • recording new data to Archive 2, do
as follows
  • the following:
    • Replicate the data
from
    • from Archive 1 to Archive 2,
while
    • recording isn't performed to Archive 2
cannot be written to
    • .
    • Configure the camera
to write to
    • recording to Archive 2.

Events
    • The events indicating the start and successful completion of data replication are generated in the system (
see Control
    • control). These events can be used in macros (
see Configuring Macros and Counters

To configure data replication, do the following:

  1. In the list of archives
  2. on
  3. of the domain, select the archive to which you want to copy data from other archives.
  4. Select one or more archives

  5. form
  6. from which you want to copy data

  8. . You can also replicate video from

  9. on-board
  10. the embedded camera storage (

  13. The
  14. Embedded storage

  15. object
  16. ).
    Image Modified

  17. In the Replication period parameter, select the replication period:

    1. Always—replication is performed continuously. 

    2. Time schedule—replication is performed within the specified time schedule (see Creating schedules). For example, to distribute the CPU load, you can configure replication to run at night.
    3. On demand—replication is started manually or using macros (see Manual archive replication, Start replication).

      Note
      titleAttention!
      • If you change the replication period in an existing replication archive, the archive recordings for the previous period are deleted.
      • If you use an object archive, it is possible to record data and replicate it to the same archive at a time if you select the On demand replication period. For example, in the case of continuous recording and a short-term (for example, five minutes) loss of connection with the camera, you can use a macro to replicate the data from the embedded storage to the same archive to which the continuous recording is made.
  18. In the Cameras for replication parameter, for each archive, select

  19. the

    Info
    titleNote
    • Data

    • You cannot select cameras if they are already recording to the replication archive

    Select the replication process period (3):

  34. Always – replication will be performed continuously. 

  35. Time zone  replication will be performed within the specified time schedule (see Creating schedules). For example, to distribute the CPU load, you can configure replication to run at night.
  36. On demand – replication will be started manually or using macros (see Manual Archive Replication, Start replication)

  37. Click the Apply Image Added button.

Data Configuring data replication configuration is complete. If the replication period was is set to Always, data replication starts immediately after the settings are applied.

Data replication from the block archive to the object archive

If Axxon One performs continuous recording of streams from cameras to the block archive and you want to transfer data from the block archive to the object archive, you must:

  1. Create a new object archive.
  2. Replicate previously recorded data from the block archive to the object archive.
  3. Disable replication and bind cameras to the object archive for subsequent recording.
  4. Unbind cameras from the block archive, leaving only the object archive active.

As a result, all old recordings transferred from the block archive to the object archive are saved. New camera recordings are saved directly to the object archive.
