7.5.3. Archive Media History

The Archive Media History displays a history of all of the different archive media that have been inserted into the recorder. Archive Media will show up in this list regardless of whether or not they have actually been written to. Archives which are inserted into the recorder only for browsing and playback will also show up in this list.

If the list spans multiple pages of output, use the ‘Next’ and “‘Prev’ buttons on the bottom of the page to navigate through the list. Alternatively, you can alter the page number in the “page” box and press the “Go” button. Note that if an archive drive in the case of drives without removable media, or a media disk in the case of drives with removable media will gain a separate entry in this table for each time they were formatted and used.

Therefore, if you archive Jan-Mar on a Blu-Ray disc, then reformat it, and then archive Apr-Jun, you will have two entries for that disk in the archive media history, one for the first date range showing that the archive has been deleted, and one for the new date range.

The fields displayed for each archive media history entry are as follows:

  • Recorder Serial: The serial number of the recorder on which the archive was written. This will be zero if created on the recorder you are logged into. It would only be nonzero in the case of an archive written on a different recorder and then inserted into this recorder for browsing and playback.

  • Format Time: The Date and Time upon which the archive drive, or current archive media, was formatted.

  • Start Time: The Date and time of the oldest call contained on the archive media.

  • End Time: The Date and Time of the latest call contained on the archive media.

  • Call Count: The number of calls archived to the archive media.

  • Status: The current status of the archive media. The possibilities are:

    • DELETED: This media has since been reformatted on the recorder, and this archive is no longer available. Note that if an archive media is formatted on a different system or physically destroyed, the calls will also no longer be available, but this status will not be reflected in the recorder’s archive media history

    • PARTIAL: Archive was started but not completed.

  • Drive Type: The type of archive drive (e.g. BLU-RAY, USB Drive, NAS, etc.)

  • Last Archive Time: The most recent time that archiving was started on this archive media.
