The backup data is encrypted to be recorded. Therefore, the

devices for use. Also, the backup data can be restored only on the
original device used for backup.
●
The size of data backed up to the computer is slightly larger than
the actual recording data.
●
You cannot use suspended backup data for restoration. Finish
backup operation as soon as possible to validate the backup data.
●
Power-save Mode is adopted for Power Off Mode setting until
backup operation is complete.

When backup starts, the timer setting is disabled. Set the timer

In the second and subsequent back up operations, only changed/
added recording data since the last operation will be backed up
(difference backup).
Restoring backup data
When restoring the data, the HDD is reset to the
default setting at the time of purchase (No recording
data exists.) This means the HDD status returns to the
status at the time of purchase when restoring fails. Be
extremely careful when restoring the backup data.
