Atempo-Digital Archive – Partial File Retrieval (PFR) The Partial File Retrieval (PFR) feature for the MXF and QuickTime (QT) formats is available via the Rich Media option that must be added to the ADA configuration in order to use partial retrieval. PFR requires a new license. PFR is only available in Agent Mode archiving, not in Client Mode. The Rich Media Option also delivers automatic metadata import for media industry file formats such as MXF, DPX, etc. See the Metadata Import section for details.

Atempo-Digital Archive – Network & Protocols
Network Integration - LDAP implementations supported: Active Directory by Microsoft - Supporting NFS v2, v3 and v4 - Gateway: the choice between CIFS and NFS must be done depending on the Gateway’s OS used with the ADA Agent accessing the NAS: o CIFS if the ADA Agent is running on Windows – No CIFS support on Linux/Unix or macOS Agents o NFS if running on macOS or Linux/Unix – No NFS support on Windows Agents
- No support for: o IPv6 host names are not supported o AFP (Apple File Protocol) is not supported– Archiving & Retrieval of objects located on remote share through Apple File Protocol (AFP) is not supported. o No CIFS support on Linux/Unix or macOS X Agents o No NFS support on Windows Agents
Atempo-Digital Archive – Combined Use with Other Atempo Products Running multiple product components on the same host is not recommended in production environments. Like any business-critical applications, Atempo products will perform best when running on dedicated hosts. Furthermore, troubleshooting issues with co-resident applications can be extremely complex, which may result in reduced service level. This section refers only to co- residence and not to interoperability with other Atempo products. Provided that the host has sufficient processor, memory, storage, and network resources to support the combined load, it is generally safe to install components from other Atempo products on the same host as Atempo-Digital Archive. Product versions must be at least as current as the following:
Product Version Time Navigator (1) Versions 4.4 SP1, 4.4, 4.3 SP3, 4.3 SP2, and 4.2 SP8 Live Backup 3.31 and up Live Navigator 3.2 and up
Note (1) This limitation is enforced when ADA is using ATN as a Storage Manager. ATN as a storage manager is currently in maintenance mode, new installations are not possible.

Atempo-Digital Archive – Co-residence with Third-party Products Please carefully check the compatibility if running the Atempo-Digital Archive modules listed below in the following environments:
Environment or Solution Atempo-Digital Archive Module Quota system on a file server ADA HSM Filter Driver (1) Replication solution ADA HSM Filter Driver (2) Antivirus ADA HSM Filter Driver (3)
Note (1) The ADA HSM Filter Driver creates stubs presenting the size of the archived file although their real size is a few KB in conformity with Microsoft’s specifications. Some quota systems can miscalculate free space and deny access during retrieval. Note (2) Some replication solutions may cause the recall of the documents archived while opening the stubs created by the ADA HSM Filter Driver when replicating a file system. However, most solutions are able to detect that stubs are offline files, and they do not retrieve them. Note (3) The stubs created by the ADA HSM Filter Driver may be retrieved by the antivirus software while browsing the stubs, thus causing massive retrieval. However, most Antivirus are able to detect that stubs are offline files, and they do not retrieve them.
The following solutions are fully compatible with Atempo-Digital Archive or one of its modules:
Product Compatible with DoubleTake replication solution ADA HSM Filter Driver (1) IBM Tivoli Storage Manager ADA HSM Filter Driver (2) NTP Software QFS version ADA HSM Filter Driver (3) Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 with the Quota option ADA HSM Filter Driver (4) (FSRM)
Note (1) Validated with DOUBLE-TAKE version 5.1.1.867.0 generated on Jan, 7 2009 - A specific Registry setting is required – please contact Atempo support. Please note that the validation was done for standard Stubs, Dual State stubs are not supported. Note (2) Validated with TSM 5.5.1 - A specific TSM Flag is required – please contact Atempo support. Note (3) Validated with NTP Software Quota & File Sentinel version 5.2.2.24. Note (4) Working fine from an HSM archiving point of view with the Windows Server 2008 quota manager: the system register the free space created at file archiving and stub creation, and register the space is reduced at stub recall. We noticed a strange behavior of the quota manager that do permit to overflow the quota limit sometime when retrieving a file from a stub. In other word, we were able to overrun our quota during our tests by a few MB.
