OpenVDMv2 | Open Vessel Data Management v2 | Continuous Backup library

OpenVDMv2 is a PHP library typically used in Institutions, Learning, Education, Backup Recovery, Continuous Backup, Raspberry Pi applications. OpenVDMv2 has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Strong Copyleft License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

OpenVDMv2 is a ship-wide data management platform. It is comprised of a suite of programs and an accompanying web-application that provides vessel operators with a unified at-sea solution for retrieving and organizing files from multiple data acquisition systems into a unified cruise data package. Once the files are within the cruise data package they are immediately and safely accessible by crew and scientists. In addition OpenVDM can perform regularly backups of the cruise data package to one or more backup storage location/devices such as NAS arrays, external hard drives and even to shore-based servers. OpenVDMv2 includes a plugin architecture whereby vessel operators can develop and install their own data processing plugins used to web-based visualizations, perform data quality assurance (QA) tests and collecting data statistics at the file-level. In practice the output data from plugins is ~5% the size of the raw data files, making the architecture ideal for projecting situatitional off-ship to institute or cloud-based servers over low-bandwidth connections. OpenVDMv2 includes a hooks architure whereby vessel operators can link custom processes to run at key milestones during a cruise such as the start/end of a cruise, after a specific data transfer or after a data processing plugin completes. The allow vessels operators to design and deploy potentially very sophisticated and asynchronous data processing workflows. OpenVDMv2 includes full RESTful API, allowing vessel operators to build their own custom web-based and stand-alone applications that leverage information stored within OpenVDMv2 for their own, vessel-specific needs. Various UI refinements and bug fixes. Slight modification to the OpenVDM database schema for Cruise Data Transfers. Added support for vessel with dedicated vehicles such as ROVs and AUVs. This supoort includes the ability to define multiple lowerings within a cruise. Lowerings have their own ID, start and stop times. Collection System Transfers can be configured to save data on a cruise-basis or lowering basis. Added ability to define whether a the source directory for a collection system transfer from a local directory is a mount point. This is useful is the source directory is actually an externally connected device such as a USB HDD. Added ability to define whether a the destination directory for a cruise data transfer to a local directory is a mount point. This is useful is the destination directory is actually an externally connected device such as a USB HDD.
