Feature Request: Archival Ability #20

Closed omayhemo closed 1 year ago

omayhemo commented 1 year ago

I'd like to keep X number of days on my local drive and archive to NAS for the remainder. While I can mount a NAS drive and use it successfully in the NVR, it's pretty slow and sometimes unresponsive in the app. It'd be great to enable a feature that allows you to set a variable number of days to retain locally and then offload the remainder to archive and still be able to view both in the app.

I'd use rsync or something. The nvr file storage is immutable (in that the files within will never change, but may be deleted) and file based and so it lends itself well to replication via tools like rsync.

Offloading is also an expensive operation. it's basically continual write to a NAS anyways for a rolling NVR.

I want to retain access to the snapshots, clips and recordings in nvr.scrypted while storing them in an alternative location for longer archival. Am I missing how this would work with such a configuration?
