On the basis of one server you can create an unlimited number of archives.

We do not recommend you to operate a large single volume video footage archive. It's more practical to divide the archive to multiple volumes located on different hardware devices. We recommend you to create an archive with volumes no larger than 30 TB each. |
The archive can be stored:
- both on local disks and on network disks (see General information of SolidStore file system);
- in object storages, which are created via the gRPC API (see Create archive using gRPC API methods for version 4.6.0.717 Beta and earlier versions).

For local or network archives, it is not recommended to use the archive as a single large volume. It is more practical to split the archive into several volumes and place them on different hardware devices. We recommend you to create an archive with volumes no larger than 30 TB each. |
Features of archives:
Local archive | Network archive | Object archive |
|---|---|---|
| The archive can be distributed on several volumes of the server | The archive can be stored on multiple network storage devices | The archive can be stored in one object storage |
| On one logical disk for one archive you can create only one volume, which occupies either a file of a set size or the entire partition (logical disk) | The archive can be stored only as a file of a specified size | The archive can contain only one volume of unlimited size. You can change the size of the archive without restarting ngp |
| The archive can contain multiple volumes, which may be in the form of a file or a partition |
