DATA BACKUP SETUP
Video data recorded on the DX8100 can be backed up to a variety of media. The backup process involves selecting a specific time range for
archival and the type of media to be used. The primary difference between backing up and exporting video is performing a backup archives all
channels for a specific time period, while exporting only archives selected channels. Following the directions below, Power User and
Administrators can set up and perform backups.
NOTE: The DX8100 Export feature backs up all configuration settings to the target device. However, the target device setting is not restored
after the import process is executed; all backup settings are restored except the target device configuration setting. The target device setting has
to be re-entered in order for the scheduled backup routine to execute.
You must use the DX8100 Client application to view backed up data. For more information about viewing backed up data, refer to the Client
Applications manual.
