NAME¶

datalad export-archive-ora - export an archive of a local annex object store for the ORA remote.

SYNOPSIS¶

datalad export-archive-ora [-h] [-d DATASET] TARGET ...

DESCRIPTION¶

Keys in the local annex object store are reorganized in a temporary directory (using links to avoid storage duplication) to use the the directory-type special remote. This alternative object store is then moved into a 7zip archive that is suitable for use in a ORA remote dataset store. Placing such an archive into::

<dataset location>/archives/archive.7z

Enables the ORA special remote to locate and retrieve all keys contained in the archive.

OPTIONS¶

-d DATASET, --dataset DATASET

specify the dataset to process. If no dataset is given, an attempt is made to identify the dataset based on the current working directory. Constraints: Value must be a Dataset or a valid identifier of a Dataset (e.g. a path)
