One final note on DSpace + DuraCloud integrations: * As DuraCloud is able to Sync with any local filesystem folder (using its Sync & Retrieval Tools), technically you could sync the entire DSpace folder or [dspace]/assetstore/ folder into DuraCloud. However, this would just be another form of "backup", and DSpace itself wouldn't be able to do anything with that copy of your 'assetstore' folder in DuraCloud. Just wanted to make sure this is clear -- you can copy the 'assetstore' folder into DuraCloud, but DSpace just cannot use it at this time.
So, in the end the best DSpace + DuraCloud integration that we have so far is via the AIP Backup & Restore tools. - Tim On 6/17/2011 10:19 AM, Tim Donohue wrote: > Hi Jose, > > Sorry for the delayed response -- I was on vacation for a few days after > Open Repositories. > > Much of the DSpace + DuraCloud work is still a work in progress.
