Data Backup Setup

Video data recorded on the DX8100 can be backed up to a variety of media. The backup process involves selecting a specific time range for archival and the type of media to be used. The primary difference between backing up and exporting video is performing a backup archives all channels for a specific time period, while exporting only archives selected channels. Following the directions below, Power User and Administrators can set up and perform backups.

NOTE: The DX8100 Export feature backs up all configuration settings to the target device. However, the target device setting is not restored after the import process is executed; all backup settings are restored except the target device configuration setting. The target device setting has to be re-entered in order for the scheduled backup routine to execute.
