BACKUP OVERVIEW
The Backup Center allows you to back up recorded video data from multiple dates and times to one or more locations including the DVD-
RW drive, Network Storage Locations, and External Hard Drives.
The recorder can easily backup important video data to an internal or external media location. The most commonly used forms of this are
CD-Rs, DVD-Rs, External USB or FireWire Hard Drives, and Network Drives. Every recorder comes equipped with a DVD-RW drive, USB
port, and Network Adapter.
The recorder is capable of performing a backup to multiple CD/DVDs when the file sizes exceed the capacity of a single disk. You may
also specify multiple locations for backup as well as the order they are recorded to.
The recorder backs up video data using a proprietary compression format that can only be read by the Surveillix Backup Viewer software.
This ensures the integrity of the data.
Throughout the backup process the recorder will continue recording data without interruption. This is the result of the tremendous
multiplexing power of the recorder, which allows it to perform virtually all functions without disrupting the recording process.
