You can configure archives using the interface in the Archive tab (under Settings). To create archives you must have the appropriate permissions.
On the base basis of one server Server you can create an unlimited number of archives.
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, Create archive using gRPC API methods for version 4.6.0.799 Beta and later versions).

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 For local or network archives, it is not recommended to use the archive as a single large volume. |
An archive can be placed on local disks or on network disks.
We recommend you to create an archive with volumes no larger than 30 TB each. |
Features of archives:To compare these types of archives, review the following table.
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. |
Data from one local or network archive can be copied between to other local or network archives.
You can configure archives as follows:
- Create archives (see Creating archives).
- Configure recording of the video stream from video cameras to the archives (see Configuring recording to an archive).
Configure data replication, if necessary (see Configuring data replication).
You can also connect external archives — a set of video recordings with time links.
