7.3 ARC
This function must be allowed by license key. ARC - Advance Recording Control is easy and powerful tool for
automation of the recording and backup processes in network environments. ARC makes you possibility to record
CD or DVD from various computers in the local network without installing any special software.
The principle is very easy. There is some directory (shared network directory) defined by user which is permanently
monitored by ARC function. When there are some data and these data are not changed during monitoring, the ARC
interprets these data as prepared for recording. Then the job is created and inserted into Job Scheduler.
For open ARC dialog window you have to click the menu Setup/ARC - Advanced Recording Control. By clicking it
the following window is shown.

ARC method: In ARC Method section you can
select from three various methods:
• Image Based: If some image is detected by
ARC in monitored directory, this image will be
recorded by Disc Manager.
• File Based: the ARC directory is monitored as
a whole and if data inside is not changed, image
from this data is created and then recorded by
Disc Manager.
• Directory Based: in the ARC directory there is collection of several subdirectory and each is monitored separately.
• DMS - Disc Manager Script: DMS files are insert into the ARC directory and it´s monitoring by ARC. When con-
ditions occurs then Disc Manager executes the DMS file. You can use the DMS file (*.dms) and Rimage script file

ditions are without changes for a two latency period.
