[ome-devel] Archive integrity check during OMERO Insight import

[Alex Herbert]

Dear All,

When importing and archiving images into OMERO is there an integrity 
check on the archived data? For example a comparison between an MD5 sum 
on the original data on either side of the connection. I assume that the 
overhead of such a check would be far less than the current work of 
translating the pixel data into the OMERO format and the time taken to 
transmit it via the network.

Currently we archive all images from our microscopes into OMERO. We 
would like to be sure that the archive has been successfully transferred 
before deleting the original from the local filesystem.

I have had people ask me about the archive integrity and would like to 
find out the answer.

Thanking you in advance.

Alex
