3.3 BACKUP
This DVR supports backing up files from the hard drive to both an external USB storage device as well
as over a network. Network downloads are covered in the Remote Monitoring Guide.
The Backup menu is located in the Functions
section of the Main menu.
The Backup window will display any connected
devices along with available space and status. If
you have a device connected to the USB port on
the front of the DVR and it does not appear, press
the Browse button. If it still does not appear, then
use a different USB device.

If you need to clear space on your external drive, you can use the Erase button. This will delete ALL files
on that device.
Once an external USB device is detected, pressing
the Backup button will open a new window
allowing you to select which files to back up. You
can select by channel, start and end times, as well
as which type of event; regular recording, alarm,
motion detection or all of them.
Only files with a check mark in front of them will be
backed up. You can deselect whichever files you
choose or select them all by selecting the box at
the top of the list.
NOTE! External USB hard drives used for backing up data will need to be
in the FAT32 format. Most new drives will need to be reformatted before use
with this DVR. Formatting instructions are provided at the end of this chapter.
IMPORTANT! Erased files cannot be recovered!
