Advice for permanent archival from SEISCOMP

1

Hello everybody,

I am currently using SEISCOMP to capture data from a network of seismometers via SLARCHIVE, but I have to put a number of days until these files are deleted.

I would like to know if you can give me any recommendations on how to permanently save these files from SEISCOMP or if I just use a script when the day is over to transfer the generated files to permanent storage.

Thank you very much for your help

If you never run the purge_datafiles script (see seiscomp print crontab) then it won’t delete any files. slarchive by itself does not delete anything. Otherwise put a really large number into ARCH_KEEP, such as 366000 which translates to thousand years. Probably enough for your intended storage time span.
