iRODS Archive

The iRODS Archive feature allows you to manage archived data within the iRODS system. This feature is particularly useful for storing large datasets that are not frequently accessed but need to be retained for long-term storage.

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

To use the Archive feature, follow these steps:

• Click on the “Search” button (change minimal file size limit if needed) to find datasets that are eligible for archiving.

• Select the dataset you want to archive.

• Click on the “Archive” button to start the archiving process.

• The system will tag the data files which in turn will trigger an iRODS rule that will move the selected dataset to the archive storage.
