Saving ISIS Metadata
This procedure describes how to save the metadata stored on the system drives in the ISIS
System Director. This procedure would typically only be needed in the event of a hardware
replacement where both system drives or the System Director server itself will be replaced in an
active ISIS installation.
Regardless of how many Engines you have, all the metadata for all the media drives, in all of the
Engines, are saved on the System Director. The Engines do not store any metadata.
To save the System Director metadata:
1. Stop the System Director service using the ISIS Control Panel.
n
The System Director is constantly writing metadata. Metadata files are always open and locked,
so the best way to copy the metadata files is to stop the System Director service so the files are
closed.
2. Copy the Partition0 and Partition1 files from the following location on the System Director:
D:\Program Files\Avid\ISISSystemDirector
