iRODS Archive

The iRODS Archive functionality allows datasets in iRODS to be moved to long-term archive storage. This is particularly useful for storing large datasets that are not frequently accessed but must be retained.

irods archive irods archive > The archive overview shows you the status of archived datasets and their metadata.

To use the Archive feature:

  • Click Search to list datasets eligible for archiving (../the minimum file size threshold can be adjusted).
  • Select the dataset you want to archive.
  • Click Archive to start the archiving process.
  • The system will tag the data files which in turn will trigger an iRODS rule that moves the selected dataset to the archive storage tier.
