For example; if you have a camera set to record all the time and it captures some action in a five-minute segment, you can clip only that portion and back it up. In addition to making an incident readily available, saving only the portion of interest will reduce the amount of disk space needed to back it up.

STEP 1. Select a file to view in the normal manner.

STEP 2. Find the section of interest and press the Clip button
