ArchiverFS
ArchiverFS is a lightweight file archiving solution for servers and network storage that lets you use any NAS, SAN, or cloud platform as second-tier storage. With no databases or proprietary formats, it runs on pure NTFS from start to finish. Old, unused, or unstructured files can be moved in bulk from expensive primary storage to cheaper secondary devices while preserving directory structures, attributes, and permissions. If it can be formatted with NTFS and shared via a UNC path, ArchiverFS can use it. Features include support for cloud, DFS, replication, de-duplication, and compression. Optional link stubs (including seamless symbolic links) can be left in place of moved files, so users see them exactly as before. By reclaiming valuable space on primary storage without adding complexity, ArchiverFS helps organizations reduce costs, improve performance, and manage file growth with complete transparency.
