Practical Digital Preservation for Libraries

Combining multiple WARCs from Archive-It

We recently started with Preservica 7.2.1, Professional Plus.We want to ingest website crawls created in Archive-IT. Each Archive-IT crawl produced multiple WARC files which we are able to harvest using the WASAPI tool. My question is: Has anyone recently successfully ingested multiple WARC files from a single Archive-IT Website crawl and integrated them so that Replay rendered them as a single viewable resource?I would love to get notes on your workflow!Thanks in advance-Elizabeth Altman

Session expired boots

Does anyone know why I am routinely getting kicked out as “session expired” after approx. an hour when I am in the middle of working. I have been renaming and captioning large image banks and it routinely happens when I am halfway through typing a sentence. It’s getting annoying!Is this because I am using a starter edition at the moment - I am intending to upgrade when I hit 5GB but don’t want to see this as an issue constantly when I want to work for more than an hour at a time.Thanks

closing unused sessions

Hi! My machine keeps telling me that I have more sessions open than the one that I am using. That is completely unnecessary and those other sessions should have timed out by now. How do I shut them? Thank you

Need Resources on cataloging in DC

I am using Starter and trying to understand how to populate fields in Dublin Core using correct syntax or formatting. I would like to find resources and training videos. But when I search everything is XML focused. I don’t want that and it is needlessly confusing. Does Preservica offer any training modules for DC? Thank you!

I cannot see embedded metadata such as IPTCF.A.Q.

If I upload a file that has metadata embedded in it, such as an image file with IPTC, this is not being shown against the file in the Starter system.This is because Starter does not support embedded metadata at this time. MODS and DC metadata can be added manually post upload and also edited in bulk and in the future we are looking at enabling the upload of metadata along with files.

Email body not appearing

I was doing some test ingests of .pst file in preparation for ingesting one for a collection of emails that we want to preserve.Although it appeared to work first time when going to view the emails in Preservica the body of the email is missing: Missing email body If you download the asset, it comes the email had a .dat file attached to it which does contain the body of the email in a kind of html form.Has anyone else encountered this problem or am I just doing something wrong? Any help would be great, thanks.

Maximum size WARC files for ReplayWeb viewer in Starter

Hello, we are currently researching using Starter for the archving of a not for profit community website. When we produce, with a crawler, a test crawl of the site producing a 1GB file, the WARC file is shown correctly in the viewer.When we do a full crawl , just over 2GB , it doesn’t render.Is there an upper limit to the allowable size of WARC files that you know of?thank you

Stuck in Preserving phase of ingest

Hi there - I am trying to upload four .jpg files to a folder in my Starter account, and they are all getting stuck at the preserving point. See below: Not sure what could be causing this? The other .jpgs I have uploaded in the past only took a few minutes to complete and show up in the folder. By the way, I’m a super newbie! Thank you!
