Creating Disc Images
7.2 Creating Disc Images
Using the local optical device to duplicate disc images
The simplest and fastest way to create a disc image is to use
the CD or DVD device of NAS server to duplicate the inserted
discs. Usually a CD can be duplicated in 5 to 10 minutes.
To configure a device so that it can automatically duplicate
any inserted discs, please go to the Disc Server Disc Caching
menu page of the administration page. In the Device List
table, click the hyperlink text in the CD Device’s Function
column and change the CD function to Disc Mirroring .
The Disc Mirroring Settings section will appear on the page.
Select a folder as the target location. The folder is called
Disc
Image Folder , which is a folder especially for storing disc
images. In addition to create a new disc image, it can also
replace an existing disc image with the duplicated one. If the
disc image being replaced is shared, the duplicated disc
image will inherit all the share settings and permissions. The CD
replacement will happen once and it will return to the previous
settings.
The disc image’s name can be either inherited from the CD
label or user-defined. A user-defined name will only apply
once to the next duplicated disc image.
If you set the CD function to '
Direct Access ', it will mount any
disc inserted in the CD/DVD device. The mounted disc will
appear as a folder under the default CDROM share.
Copying disc images via network filing protocols or
SmartSync
The disc images are stored in the disc image folders.
Administrators can also copy or sync the disc images from one
NAS to another, using Windows Explorer, MacOS Finder or
SmartSync.
