- What is the impact of using the different options on a running repository?
- How do each of the methods scale?
- What performance impact do they have?
- What additional disk space, memory, etc. resources are needed?
- How suitable for preservation are the different formats?
- Can the datastream contents be accessed as/exported to files on disk?
- Can the metadata be accessed in/exported to a human- and machine-readable format?
Testing Plan:
- Ingest UCSD DAMS repository content (50K objects, ~8 TB) into Fedora 4.
- Use each bulk-copying approach while running a performance test suite.
- Examine output files from each approach to assess preservation value.
