MANUAL ARCHIVING
To manually archive captured video, complete the following steps:
1.
Verify that an auto archiving session is not currently underway.
2.
If the drive has never been used for MasterControl archiving, you must
format it by selecting its row (not its checkbox) and clicking Format. A
drive is already formatted if a name is listed in the Archive Name col-
umn.
3.
Select the storage drives to be used for manual archiving by clicking its
row (not its checkbox).
4.
Select the date range of the video to archive. All records found will be
archived to the selected drive. Even records previously archived to a dif-
ferent drive will be archived to the currently selected drive; however,
records already archived to the currently selected drive will not be re-
archived during this procedure.
5.
Click Begin Archive. Depending on the size of the date range, archiving
may take from several minutes to several hours. You can cancel a manual
archive by clicking Cancel.
The Status box contains current archiving procedure information.
It is recommended that you do not perform both auto and manual
archiving on the same DVXi system. If you archive files manually,
they will not be included in the next auto archiving session.
