Archival Information Package (AIP) Backup & Restore process. Allows for a backup of DSpace into a generic METS-based structure, that can be used to migrate DSpace content to another system that supports AIP's (DSpace or non-DSpace). This backup and restore functionality also allows one to backup to cloud storage services like DuraCloud, though it could just as easily be used to backup to tape or a hard drive.

Curation System , a framework for building and running tasks to help a Curator preserve and improve your repository contents.
Tasks can be run on communities, collections, and items through the command line for cron-tasks, or through the User Interface for admins.
The initial tasks available are:* Profile Bitstream Formats -- counts the number of bitstreams that share the same file format extension. 

  • Virus Scan -- inspect the bitstreams with a virus scanner (ClamAV) to detect if they contain viruses
  • Check for Required Metadata -- checks that item metadata has values for all fields marked as required in the input-form

Thus letting us know immediately if something changed broke another feature.

Added by Pere Villega, a product of DSpace Summer of Code 2010 (mentor Stuart Lewis).

Removed / Deprecated

Wiki MarkupMost command line scripts that have historically resided in {{\[dspace\]/bin/}} were deprecated in 1.6.x, and are now removed in 1.7.0.
