Manage Unit-Specific Files in an Intermediate File Format

Unit-specific files can be operated and managed only using SV-Manager. To move or backup unit-specific files to another PC, files need to be converted to a file format that Windows file operation can move and copy. BVD Export and BVD Import are functions for this purpose. BVD Export writes BVD files with a bvd extension.

The BVD file is called an intermediate file format as the file only targets Windows file operation. The contents cannot be browsed by an application software other than SV-Manager.

BVD files created by BVD Export can be restored to unit-specific files using BVD Import.

Unit-specific files in a closed Security folder cannot be exported to BVD files. This process creates a BVD file that includes an empty Security folder.

¨This process creates BVD files from the selected files and folders.

When a folder is selected, the hierarchical structure under the folder is compressed while maintaining its structure and a single BVD file is created with the selected folder name.
