DVD-Vault is a software that enables users to manage DVD jukeboxes (SCSI medium changers) effectively, providing an efficient way to archive and access files.
DVD-Vault is an archive software designed to manage DVD jukeboxes equipped with SCSI medium changers. With DVD-Vault, users can access a DVD SCSI library with multiple pieces of DVD-R or DVD-RAM media as a unified, file system. Even a large library of 1000 pieces of 4.7Gbyte media can be addressed seamlessly as a 4700GByte file system with automatic SCSI-robotic mounting and unmounting of media as required.
For those familiar with UniTree (HPSS), AMASS, METIOR and MagnaVault, DVD-Vault should be easy to understand. Tests have been conducted using the ASACA 250 and 1450, as well as the Sony/Kubota 64-slot PD (blu-ray) library, confirming compatibility and reliability.
The latest release of DVD-Vault includes several new features and improvements, such as the separation of binary and source code into two different files. DMAPI code has been updated to "punch" holes in files instead of truncating them, making file sizes transparent and more Windows client-friendly. A disk_scrub function has also been added to help users reclaim optical disk space when deleting files.
MCLIB routines have been updated to support Qualstar tape libraries, while Batch_migration has been included in the binary RPM to support WORM media (BD-R, DVD+R). Additionally, tape stage support can be found in the stage program, and the Purge feature has been replaced with purgefile to support the new DMAPI code.
Overall, DVD-Vault proves to be a powerful and reliable tool for managing DVD jukeboxes with its user-friendly interface and versatile features.
