CInbox

A common inbox engine for archiving data

The Common-Inbox (CInbox) is a very flexible engine for moving data, and it is designed for usage in long-term preservation environments.

It ensures data integrity and can run in most environments (e.g. Linux, Windows). Further, it allows for plug-ins, pre- and postprocessing scripts and the definition of a rule set (configuration) for each Inbox. Depending on the configuration, the data files, metadata, hashes and directory structure will be handled to migrate automatically and only have user interaction in error cases.
