Distributed Internet Archive Protocol (DIAP)
Damian Brasher · 2009
DIAP has been created to solve mid-range and below, long term archiving requirements of the small medium enterprise. Where tape has been deployed in the past DIAP now offers an alternative solution designed to be more robust and manageable in the long term than network attached storage devices or simple disk storage alone. To maintain archives over a number of years requires a well organised and robust approach, this is the purpose of DIAP. The storage unit of DIAP is the volume, which can be viewed as roughly equivalent to the contents of a single tape.
