Making backups (continued) / Other convenient functions

Timer Backup

The timer can be used to archive data in the main hard disk drive which has not yet been backed up. The unit can archive data even if it is currently in the process of Timer Recording. Please check the settings for backup over-writ- ing. (Refer to page 30 for more details.)

Make sure to connect the archive device using SCSI ID4.

Example: Use Program #5 in the Timer operational mode P2 to make a backup everyday between 00:00 to 05:00. (All data is backed up in one session.)

1.Press the SET UP button to display the <MENU SETTING> menu.

The start point of the backup is at the position of the Archive Pointer Glossary , and its end point is where backup is terminated within the designated time frame. When backup is completed within the designated time frame, the unit saves the Archive Pointer at this position, and will start the next backup at this position.

8.Turn the SHUTTLE ring to the left or press the SET UP button.

The Timer Backup is grouped as shown in the following illustration.

A recording operation warning is displayed when hard disk drive data which has yet to be backed up is about to be over-written. After that, a recording malfunction message will be displayed when that point has been exceeded.

INFORMATION

The unit can be set so that a CALL OUT signal is emitted when the archive medium has

run out of storage space. Refer to page 27 for more details on CALL OUT settings.

Power failure reset recording

The unit will restart recording after the event of a power failure, even if the unit was running in recording mode prior to the power failure. When running Timer Recording, the unit will restart recording if the power failure ends before the user-specified time frame. After a power outage, a mark “X” will appear on the monitor next to the time display. This can be removed by pushing the WARNING RESET but- ton.

In the case of a power failure during recording, image quality may be partially degraded and search

functions may not operate normally.

Power failure time display

The start-times of power failures are recorded when the unit is turning on electricity, and can be confirmed later. (Start times of power failures occurring during backup op- eration are not recorded.) Refer to page 28 for more de- tails.
