-------------------------------

             Summary: AIP Backup & Restore functionality does NOT 
backup/restore past versions of Items
                 Key: DS-1374
                 URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1374
             Project: DSpace
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: DSpace API
    Affects Versions: 3.0
         Environment: 3.0-rc3 in any environment
            Reporter: Tim Donohue
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 3.0


The DSpace AIP Backup & Restore functionality does not store all Item Version 
information in AIPs.

Instead, if you export a DSpace AIP for an item having several versions, only 
the MOST RECENT version is actually exported to the AIP.  This means that only 
the most recent version can be restored at any time, and all previous versions 
are "lost".

Essentially the DSpace AIP Backup & Restore is currently not fully compatible 
with the new Item Versioning feature.  No actual errors are thrown when using 
AIP Backup & Restore in DSpace 3.0, but you will lose all previous versions of 
items whenever a restore/replace is performed.

Relevant links in docs:
* https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/AIP+Backup+and+Restore
* https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/DSpace+AIP+Format
* https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/Item+Level+Versioning

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how easy this will be to fix/resolve.  It may 
actually require modifications to the existing DSpace AIP Format, to ensure it 
is able to capture Item version information.
