Data Import – Ripping data CDs or DVDs
While the Archive, or multi-disc Archive job options allow you read in a CD or
DVD to create a single file image of that disc, a ‘Data import’ job allows you to
copy the directory structure of a CD or DVD to local or network storage
location(
must be a mapped drive
). You can even set up multiple batches with
one batch writing to one location, and the other writing to their own user defined
paths. This makes for the perfect tool to automate the ripping of Windows
readable data CDs or DVDs. Simply stack up your data CDs or DVDs in the input
hopper and will copy the contents one by one into user definable locations. This is
a great way to migrate data from disc and old jukebox devices to newer high
capacity storage platforms such as high-density optical disc, storage area
networks, or other network attached storage devices.
