Tim Donohue updated DS-1382:
----------------------------
Fix Version/s: 3.1
Issue Type: Bug (was: Improvement)
The Committers have decided that this will remain a "known issue" in DSpace
3.0, as Item Versioning will be disabled by default (see DS-1388). We'll work
on a fix for this and DS-1374 after 3.0.
> AIP Backup & Restore functionality should not duplicate unchanged files
> across Item Versions

> Key: DS-1382

> Project: DSpace
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: DSpace API
> Affects Versions: 3.0
> Reporter: Tim Donohue
> Assignee: Tim Donohue
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.1

>
> The DSpace 3.0 model for storing Item Versions in AIPs is to generate a
> *separate* AIP for each version of the Item.
> Suppose you have an Item "123/45" with old versions "123/45.1" and
> "123/45.2". To export all versions, you'd need to export a total of 3 AIPs
> (123-45.zip, 123-45.1.zip and 123-45.2.zip), one for each version.
> Although this may sound reasonable, it can lead to "ballooning storage costs"
> as you version Items. Since 3 AIPs are generated in the above example, each
> of the 3 AIPs must duplicate all content files within it. So, if the size of
> the initial AIP is 100KB, after 10 versions, you may be storing around
> 10x100KB=~1MB of content, much of it actually duplicative in nature. A few
> ways around this issue would be to either:
> (a) store AIPs as "unzipped" (so they could link to the same content
> files & avoid some content duplication), OR
> (b) generate a single AIP zip package which describes all versions of
> the Item (again that way you could avoid content file duplication). This
> single AIP zip package could either describe all versions in a single METS
> file, or potentially include a separate METS file for each version.
> Either option we take, this will require some (likely major) rework of the
> AIP format. Obviously we'd need to make it backwards compatible with past AIP
> formats.
