How can I make backups of CD/DVD media using El Fresko Technologies Archimedia or software?
Archimedia can record a duplicate of a CD or DVD at burn time or after the source media is recorded. To do this during the recording of the source media, you can select the duplicate device when creating a subsystem for the source media. After a media has been recorded, then Archimedia can use the xfs_copydisc command to make duplicates of the media. This is only available for CD/DVD media in the later releases of Archimedia starting V4.2.0. The same can also be run from the jukebox level as jbc_copydisc. These copy operations can be done equivalently via the GUI by right-clicking on the subsystem that is to act as the source and selecting the copy command or by right-clicking on the slot that has the source media and selecting copy again. This is done at the xfs and jbc layers respectively. For older versions that did not have these utilities, you need to copy the tracks from the original CD/DVD media (using the cdtrack command) and then transfer the image file generated to the new CD
