7.3 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 ServerDisc 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 creating 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.
