BACKUP SCHEDULE SETUP

The backup feature allows you to perform an instant backup of recorded data. It also allows you to configure the system to perform an automatic backup of data on a scheduled basis. You must have administrator permissions for setting up and conducting backup procedures.

The backup feature allows you to schedule how the DVR backs up recorded video data. The backup settings common to all modes are as follows:

Partition Selection: Allows you to specify the type of data to be backed up: all (instant, normal, and multi-event), normal (instant and normal), or event (alarm and motion).

Schedule: Specifies the backup period.

OFF: Disables the backup feature.

Daily: Backs up data daily using one start time and one end time.

Weekly: Backs up the current week’s data.

Instant: Backs up data using a specific date, start time, and end time.

Device: Indicates the destination backup media. The DVR determines what media is available and displays those media as options. If a USB device is installed, the system displays the manufacturer’s name of the device (for example, a ClipDrive or Flash Drive). Table G lists the guidelines for backing up data to media devices.

NOTES:

You cannot use the Estimate Size, Start Backup, or Erase Media options while the backup process is running.

The USB device should not be removed while the backup process is running. Doing so can disrupt the formatting of the USB drive. If the USB is removed, it will have to be reformatted to work properly.

A scheduled backup process will not start if the unit is exporting to or searching for backed up data on an external USB device. The scheduled backup process will start after the export or backup search process is completed.

Once started, a backup process will continue until it is complete.

The unit does not back up audio data.
