Backing up Video Data
Backup Overview
The DVR can easily backup important video data to an internal or external media
location. The most commonly used forms of this are CD/DVD-R/RWs, External USB or
FireWire Hard Drives, and Network Drives. Every DVR comes standard equipped with a
DVD-RW drive, USB port, and Network Adapter (FireWire port optional).
The DVR is capable of performing a backup to multiple CDs or DVDs when the file
sizes exceed the capacity of a single disk. You may also specify multiple locations for
backup as well as the order they are recorded to.
The DVR backs up video data using a proprietary compression format that can only be
read by the DVR Backup Program. This ensures the integrity of the data.
Throughout the backup process the DVR will continue recording without interruption.
This is the result of the tremendous multiplexing power of the DVR which allows it to
perform virtually all functions without disrupting the recording process.
Nero® Express
The DVR uses Windows® XP® Embedded running Nero® Express 7.0 to write data to
the DVD-RW Drive. This solution allows the DVR software to read and write data to the
DVD-RW Drive without the requirement of formatting the disk first.
Caution
Although many features are available within Nero, it is highly recommended
that you do NOT use any features other than those necessary for the
standard backup of video data as outlined in this section, loss of information
or software instability may result.
Backup Center Overview
The Backup Center allows users to back up recorded video data from multiple dates
and times to one or more locations including the DVD-RW drive, Network Storage
Locations, and External Hard Drives.
