The Digital Archivist at HRC will go over all procedures on how to use the KryoFlux upon the initial visit. Please review the resources listed below BEFORE going to the HRC so that there is some familiarity with the software.
Due to some issues with the KryoFlux GUI, for the VOH materials we opted to use the DiskTool Console (DTC) which is the software's command line application. The benefit of using the command line interface was two-fold - since we were capturing stream files it was not necessary to know how the disks were formatted, and because of the number of disks it was more efficient to modify the CLI syntax rather than clicking multiple things in the GUI. Once we had the stream files for all disks, we were able to create disk images using the KryoFlux GUI installed on the Digital Archives Workstation Laptop.
Resources related to using the KryoFlux:
Archivist's Guide to KryoFlux - Google Drive Draft
A great resource developed by archivists for archivists who are using the KryoFlux to capture disk images. The Google Drive document is a draft but the final draft should be available on GitHub soon!
A brief introduction and overview of the Archivist's Guide.
Dr. Gough Lui's Project Kryoflux Series
An excellent resource for learning more about the KryoFlux and for interpreting the GUI visualizations. Dr. Lui does an excellent job of breaking down what it is the KryoFlux is doing (or not doing!).
