4.8.2 Backup
The DVR supports backup of recorded files to CD-RWs, DVDs, USB devices, eSATA devices, and through network
download. In this section, USB and eSATA backup will be discussed. Network download backup options are
discussed in Chapter 5 of this user manual.
Clicking the backup button from the Main Menu opens the Backup screen. On this screen, all available backup
devices are shown with their name, total space, and free space. This list can include CD-RW burners, DVD burners,
USB devices, and eSATA devices.
To backup recorded files, select the backup device, the channel, file start time, the end time, then click the add button
so the system can begin a search for the selected files. Once the files are found, they are listed and can be selected
for backup.
The system automatically calculates the capacity needed and the capacity remaining on each backup device.
Select the desired backup file format by clicking the dropdown box next to the file format field, and then select the files
for backup by clicking the checkboxes next to each line item. Once the items have been selected, click the Add button
to add them to the backup queue.
