Totebox archive
A Totebox Archive is the fundamental unit of data storage and sovereignty within the PointSav platform — a self-contained micro-virtual machine that persists institutional records as immutable flat files and can be physically transferred between cloud providers, private servers, or bare-metal hardware without losing its cryptographic integrity. Each archive is cryptographically anchored to a Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) ledger, creating a permanent and verifiable audit trail for every transaction and state change.
Immutable data layer
Unlike traditional databases that require active processes to access data, a Totebox Archive persists information as immutable flat files — JSONL, GeoParquet, and Markdown — so the data remains accessible and readable even if the original software engine is no longer running. No proprietary runtime is required to read the records decades later.
Freely transferable design
A Totebox Archive is packaged as a bootable disk image that can be moved between physical servers, private clouds, or bare-metal hardware without losing integrity or historical context. The operator picks up the image and moves it; there is no host operating system underneath that holds the keys.
Asset specialization
Totebox Archives are typically deployed as domain-specific containers for distinct institutional assets. Common archive types include:
| Archive type | Contents |
|---|---|
| Personnel | Encrypted records and identification |
| Corporate | Tax identification, formation documents, and minutes |
| Property | Land titles, zoning records, and construction ledgers |
