You can backup your Video Server settings to 
protect against data loss (or operator error). 
Diskette Needed: This requires a 3.5" diskette (to 
be placed in the "A:\" drive of the Video Server). 
Attention: This should be done on a regular basis 
to help protect against loss of data. This should 
also be done before re-installing the NetVision 
software. 
The settings that will be saved include: 
•  Camera titles, and which cameras are enabled; 
•  Recording selections, plus alarm/motion triggered 
recordings; 
•  The present/active alarm-recording schedule. 
Locator: At the Video Server PC (will 
prompt for "Supervisor" login), 
Select: (Windows task bar) Start, Settings, 
Control Panel, DSR Configuration. 
Desktop Link: There should also be a link to this on 
your desktop called "NetVision Configuration". 
Tips: If you cannot access the Windows task bar, 
press Ctrl-Esc (or your 'Windows' key). To view the 
names for items on the task bar, click a blank area on 
the bar, and then 'hover' your mouse pointer over each 
item. 
Logon as a "Supervisor" when prompted. 
Then, double-click Utility in the list. When the 
screen appears, make your desired 
selection(s). 
-------------------------------------------------- 
[Backup]: Select this to copy your 
configuration settings to a floppy diskette. 
Steps: Place a blank 3.5" diskette in the A:\ drive 
first, then click [Backup]. 
When finished, place the diskette(s) in a safe, 
dry location. 
Attention: Due to the imperfect nature of magnetic 
media, it is a good idea to make copy(ies) of the 
diskette, to protect against one diskette failing. 
[Restore]: Select this to copy configuration 
settings from a previous backup-diskette. 
Steps: Place the backup diskette in the A:\ drive 
first, then click [Restore]. 
-------------------------------------------------- 
When finished, click [Cancel] to close the 
backup/restore menu, and then click [X] to 
close the list (upper-right corner). 
Attention: To recognize any DSR Configuration 
changes made while the Video Server software is 
running, you may need to restart the software.
