CD-R and DVD-R
CD-R is a small, portable, round medium used to store information in digital form. DVD-R can store
much more information than CD-R using the optical disk technology.
CD-R and DVD-R archives use logical volumes. Logical volumes are valid archive locations independent
of cache and media. They are not intermediate data structures used for staging data prior to burn and
they cannot be manually deleted without risk of permanent data loss.
HSM archive
The HSM archive system provides long-term storage of data and access to data. Studies archived with
HSM are stored to a file system. A mount point and subdirectory to store studies to is specified. The
HSM system takes care of storing the data.
Before storing or retrieving data, ensure that the mounted location is set up properly and is ready for
storage and retrieval of files.
PACS Store and Remember
A PACS Store and Remember archive is an IMPAX Server computer that acts as an Archive Server,
where the images are stored on a PACS archive external to the IMPAX system. Any IMPAX Server
computer with a cache that is not currently an Archive Server can be set up as a Store and Remember
archive. The PACS Store and Remember archive is aware of the studies that exist on the external archive,
but is not aware of precisely where on the external archive these studies are stored. The external archive
takes full responsibility for permanently archiving studies.
PACS Store and Remember archiving works the same way as other archiving. You configure the archiving
based on the station, Autopilot creates STORE jobs based on the archiving settings, and studies can be
retrieved via RETRIEVE jobs. A PACS Store and Remember queue is a DRIVE queue that is managed
like any other DRIVE queue in the Administration Tools.
The difference between PACS Store and Remember archiving and media-based archiving is that the
mvf-scu process handles the archiving, instead of a separate archive process. Also, a STORE job is done
via DICOM C-Store, and a RETRIEVE job is done via DICOM C-Move.
