Example: You have specified the path C:\videodata for a camera. To
quickly use this path for all cameras, select the path listing and click
the Set all paths button.
Add target
Note: The button is only available if the Automatic path selection
check box is selected.
By clicking this button, you can add a new archiving target. When you
click the button, a path named New drive will appear in the list. To
specify a path simply click New drive to overwrite it. The path you
type must exist in the My Network Places folder. Note, that the path
you type will not get a drive letter. That is because it is not a mapped
drive. If it had been a mapped drive, it would already have been in
the list.
Note: You cannot delete a target you have added. Instead, if you
clear a check box for a target you have added manually and click OK,
the target will not be on the list the next time you access the Archive
setup window. However, the Archives folder at the target destination
will remain available for viewing recordings.

Static Archiving
Note: Specifying archiving locations for individual cameras is only possible if you have NOT
selected the Automatic path selection check box which is the default setting.
If the Automatic path selection check box is not selected, a default archiving location is specified
for each camera. The default archiving directory, called Archives, will be located at this location.
To specify another location for the archiving directory for a camera, either click the browse icon
next to the path listing for the required camera and browse to the required location, or click
the default path listing to overwrite it.
Overwriting an existing path
Tip: To maximize load sharing and optimize performance, distribute archives across your
available storage space, if possible.
Note: If specifying another archiving location than the default location , the location you specify
must exist. You are not able to create new directories as part of the process. If archiving to a
network drive, the regular camera database must still be stored on a local drive, i.e. a drive
attached directly to the computer running the NetDVMS system.
