Buffalo Surveillance Server
Field
Digital Fingerprinting -
always selected for hard
disk and tape media.
File De-duplication
Owner - read-only
Additional Permissions
Description
This option supports proper chain-of-custody
management. When enabled, Buffalo Surveillance Server
automatically assigns a digital fingerprint to all data
captured or ingested into the Information Repository. This
option is always selected and cannot be changed for hard
disk and tape Vaults.
De-duplication enables you to prevent the duplication of
data in the Information Repository. If you enable this
option, Buffalo Surveillance Server will check the
destination media, before moving data, for exact copies of
data you want to process. If an exact copy of the data
exists in the destination media, Buffalo Surveillance
Server will not store the part of the data that is redundant.
Instead, it will reference the already-stored data on the
destination media.
If you use de-duplication, you may end up with only
one full copy of any given piece of data in your
Information Repository. This means that if the Vault
or media upon which the data is stored fails, you
will lose your data. To prevent this from happening,
be sure to back up all critical data without using de-
duplication.
This is the name of the owner of the media to whom rights
that you set will pertain. The media owner value is a pass-
through from the Vault's host computer and the login
being used. The information in this field cannot be
modified.
Permissions, also called "rights," are the limitations set
for users in processing files. Rights determine how users
(also know as "roles") are permitted to manipulate given
files. Each unit of media may have as many as sixteen
(16) different permission levels. The permissions
information entered creates an access control list (ACL)
for the unit of media.
For new media, all users on the network are granted
rights to use media by default. To restrict specific users
or groups from having access to a given unit of media,
you must restrict rights by deleting Buffalo Surveillance
Server default rights and adding new, limited rights for the
specific groups and/or users you want to restrict.
