DiscSpan software facilitates the process of burning multiple DVDs to near capacity by automating the process of splitting a large directory full of files. With just a few clicks, DiscSpan can create a cohesive and centralized storage solution, which is both convenient and time-saving.
While DiscSpan is geared towards smaller files such as music and photos, it is ideal for the security of all kinds of data. The software is designed to prompt users for the directory they want to back up, as well as the device to use for burning and the speed at which to burn.
Once these selections are made, the program analyses the files, calculates how many DVDs will be required, and ensures that no files exceed the size of a DVD. This efficient process saves time, bandwidth, and storage resources.
To run and install DiscSpan, you'll simply need to copy the discscan.py and run discspan.py. The intuitive user interface will then prompt you to select the directory you'd like to backup, the device you want to use for burning, and the speed at which you'll process your data.
Additionally, DiscSpan comes with a "test" argument that performs a test burn to make sure everything works as expected. The software requirements are minimal and include dvd+rw-tools 7.0 and Python.
Overall, DiscSpan is an incredibly efficient and helpful tool for organizing and backing up data, and the most recent release now allows it to detect dvd_rw, and dvd+ variants while correctly trapping CTRL+C. DiscSpan is a true game-changer that can save you time and effort while maintaining the safety of your data.
