SPECIAL ARCHIVING NOTES
Please be aware of the following important information about MasterControl’s
archiving utility:
•
MasterControl provides a log of all archiving procedures. During the
archiving process, a log of current archiving events appears in the Status
area. All past archiving history is also available by clicking View Log.
To reset the log, click Clear Log. To reset the Status area, click Clear
Status.
•
All other MasterControl processes, including recording, can continue as
normal during archiving.
•
When archiving to a drive, an archive directory named after the DVXi
system is created on that drive. When you format the drive, only the data
in the archive directory is erased.
•
Checkboxes next to a drive are used only for auto archiving—not for
manual archiving or formatting.
•
You can perform manual archiving at any time except during an auto
archiving session.
•
When video is archived, it still remains on the DVXi disk until recorded
over when MasterControl reaches its disk threshold.
•
You can prevent MasterControl from recording over data that has not yet
been archived by selecting the Don’t Delete Unarchived Data option on
the Disk tab.
•
If a drive is full, you are asked if you want to archive over old data before
any archiving proceeds using that device.
