Workflow: Burning Blu-ray (BD) and DVD Discs

All MA series servers offer the ability to burn single- and dual-layer BD and DVD discs for archiving. The model of MA server determines how the discs are created, manually or automatically.

It is recommended that Panasonic Blu-ray media be used for archiving.

For disc storage capacities, see Archive Disc Capacities on page 50.

T:(Tools) drive. For information on drives, see Hard Drives on page 53.
