Restoring archived assets

You can restore assets if you are assigned with the restore role. Only archived assets can have their high resolution material restored into the K2 Summit/SAN system. However, you cannot restore or partial restore an asset if the high resolution material for that asset already exists in the K2 Summit/SAN system.

If you are logged on with the Media Manager role assigned, permission is granted to move assets from an archive system to the GV STRATUS system. Without this permission, assets may be copied but not moved.

In the Asset List panel, select the asset or assets you want to restore as follows:
- Right-click a single asset to open a context menu.
- Use Ctrl + Click to select multiple assets, then right-click to open a context menu.
In the context menu, select Transfer | Restore Media.
The Restore Media dialog opens.
Select the restore destination and click Restore.
The Rename Policy dialog box opens.

You cannot restore two assets with the same name at the same location. So, you can either select Rename Automatically or Overwrite in the Rename Policy dialog box.
Click OK to restore the media.
From the Navigator, select Monitors | Jobs to track the progress of the restore operation.

Upon completion of the restore operation, the Asset List displays a High-Res Status indicator.
