DATA BACKUP SETUP

The DX8100 Client application allows you to see backup configuration settings, but not change them. To configure and perform backups, you must log in to a local DX8100 Series HVR as an Administrator or Power User. For more information about configuring a backup schedule, refer to the Data Backup Setup section in the DX8100 HVR Operation/Configuration manual.

For more information about viewing backed up video, refer to Viewing and Searching Backed up Video on page 165.
