purposes

Source Folders

Specify the data to be archived. The folders, not preserving the
full paths, will be archived to CD/DVD discs

Disc Label

Specifies the labels of the CD/DVD discs.

Date Extension

If the date extension is enabled, it will append the date of
archiving to the disc labels. For example, ARCH20041010_01 is
the first disc created by the data archiving task on October 25,
2004 with the date extension. The second disc will be
ARCH20041010_02 if more than one disc is created.

Disc Type

Specifies the media for burning. It can be a CD, a DVD or a
dual-layer DVD. The NAS server will create disc images that
match the size of the disc type, and then burn the disc images.

Advanced Settings – File
Filtering

At first the settings are hidden. Please click the Show hyperlink
to display the advanced settings.

The file filters specify which files in the source folders to include
for data archiving. You can choose to include only the files which
are in the specified date range. Or, you can choose to include the
files which are N days old. Or, you can choose to include only the
files of which the archive bits are set. The NAS server will clear
the archive bits of the source files which are archived, if not
deleted.

Advanced Settings – Skip
Archiving (Do archiving
only if…)

You can set constraints so that the archiving task is activated
only when one of the following conditions is met.

if the free volume space is lower than n% – in other words,
the data archiving will be skipped if the free volume space is high

if the archived data are over n MB/GB – that is to say, the data
archiving will be skipped if the archived data are below the
threshold

Archiving Schedule

Specifies the schedule of the archiving task. If the schedule is
due, the NAS server will check if the conditions specified in the
Advanced Settings are met. If met, then perform the data
archiving task.

Options

Delete source files after the archiving is completed – if
checked, the NAS server will delete the source files to free up
disk space after data are successfully archived as disc images or
burned to discs.

Burn Disc – if checked, it will archive data to CD or DVD discs.
Multiple CD/DVD writers can be specified here. Please note that
the CD/DVD functions must be set to Loader/Writer before
putting into use for burning.
