Overview of archiving
There are two ways to archive files:
Archive button
: This lets you manually archive recorded files quickly by using the Archive
button on the front panel. The recorder then downloads all the recorded files on the unit to fill
the available memory space on the backup device. This option is not available via the mouse.
Auto archive
: You can configure the recorder to automatically archive files following a
predefined schedule to the selected connected storage media. See“Auto archiving” on page 74
for more information.
Manually archive files
To archive recorded video using Quick Archive:
1. Insert the backup device into the recorder.
If using a USB memory drive, insert the device into the USB port on the front panel. If using
a digital video disk (DVD) or an eSATA drive, insert the disc into the DVD drive. If more than
one media type is found in the recorder, the USB device takes precedence over the others.
2. Press
Archive
on the front panel. The unit starts to download all the files listed.
Note
: If there is a capacity limitation on the backup device, only the most recent files will be
backed up.
A message will appear to confirm when the download is complete.
