Technical Note: XTN703
Background
XenData Archive Series software creates a digital archive with a file system interface. When it is used with a digital asset management (DAM) system, the DAM typically provides comprehensive search capabilities. In addition, the Windows operating system itself provides basic file search capabilities using Windows Explorer. This XenData Technical Note provides guidance.
Windows Explorer Settings
To search for files, launch Windows Explorer, select the search option and then define your search criteria. If you want to include files that are no longer on magnetic disk cache but are available from tape, select the advanced option "Search tape backup", as illustrated below.

I did my research, and the best archive solution was from XenData which manages a robotic LTO library behind the scenes. This helps to minimize our total costs and allows us to focus on producing great content for our customers.

With over 558 TB of content and growing, conventional backup solutions just don’t work for us. Our XenData system allows us to maintain an ongoing mirrored copy of our shared storage while creating replica LTO copies for offsite storage.
