7.6 Archiving data to CD/DVD discs
Data archiving is to move or copy regularly NAS data to CD/DVD discs. Administrators can set file
filters, mostly based on file date/time, to specify what to burn. One of the applications is to move
obsolete data out of the NAS server so that disk space can be freed for future uses.
If used with the Disc Server function, the Data Archiving function becomes more versatile. You can
choose to turn some less-frequently-used files to read-only disc images first, which can be
mounted by the Disc Server function to share to network users in read-only forms. When the
archived data are not in use for a long time, you can then choose to burn them to discs, freeing the
hard disk space.
The archive folder
During data archiving, the NAS server will first create disc images in the archive folder, which is a
disc image folder specifically for storing archived data in the form of disc images. Firstly specify the
location of the archive folder on the Disc Server→Data Archiving→Summary page before you
use the data archiving function.
Summary logs
On the Disc Server→Data Archiving→Summary page also shows the summary logs, which
keep track of the execution summary of the data archiving tasks.
In addition, they keep records like which disc images are created, which are burned and which are
not. Click the View hyperlink under the Discs column of the Summary Logs table to view the list
of disc images. For those disc images not burnt yet, you can choose to burn them.
Setting up data archiving tasks
On the Disc Server→Data Archiving→Tasks page, you can create tasks to archive data
manually or scheduled.
