ArchiverFS
ArchiverFS offers a file archiving solution designed for servers and network storage systems, enabling any device to function as secondary storage. This solution has a minimal impact on the host system and provides comprehensive support for cloud integration, distributed file systems (DFS), replication, de-duplication, and data compression. With ArchiverFS, users can utilize any NAS, SAN, or cloud service to store older unstructured files, as long as it can be shared over the network using a UNC path and formatted with NTFS. Notably, the system operates without relying on a database for storing files, their pointers, or metadata—utilizing NTFS exclusively throughout the process. Furthermore, ArchiverFS facilitates the bulk transfer of outdated files from primary storage to secondary storage, while ensuring that all file attributes, permissions, and directory structures are preserved. Additionally, users can leave behind various links in place of the relocated files, including fully functional symbolic links that replicate the appearance and behavior of the original files seamlessly. This innovative approach not only streamlines storage management but also enhances the efficiency and organization of file systems.
