10.4. Disconnecting the NVS2825 from Your Computer
For Windows
Right click the Storage device icon in the System Tray (lower right corner of your
screen) and select “Safely Remove Hardware” or “Unplug” or “Eject Hardware”.
Then disconnect the cable from your NVS2825 and your computer.
For MAC
Drag and drop the NEXTODI icon in the trash. Then disconnect the cable from the
NVS2825 and your computer.
10.3. Browsing the contents of your hard drive
If your computer detects the NVS2825 correctly, a new drive named [NEXTODI]
will appear on “My Computer.”
This chapter explains the “Copy” and “Verify” functions.
Insert a memory card into the corresponding memory slot. The slot for the
Cardbus memory card (including P2/P2E cards) is located on the top side of the
NVS2825.
The slot for the SxS card and CF/SD cards is located on the left side of NVS2825.
The CF/SD card must be used with a CF/SD card adapter which is included in the
NVS2825 box.
When copying from a memory card, the NVS2825 should not be connected to a
computer. The NVS2825 can copy a memory card onto the internal hard disk via
the built-in memory slot or via the “USB-Host" slot connector with a USB cable.
After the backup, the copy procedure can be verified. The data on the memory
card and the data on the hard disk are compared with one another. This ensures
that the data has been copied properly (“Verify”). You can choose the
“New Copy” or the “Verify” function according to whether the contents of the
memory card have been copied before.
Reference
Do not connect more than one memory card to the NVS2825. Only the
first one connected will be detected.
Insert the memory card carefully. The pins may bend if you insert the
memory card incorrectly.

11.1. Parsing the memory
The data on the memory card is compared
with the data stored on the NVS2825 hard
disk to determine whether it is new data or if
the data--or a portion of the data--has
already been stored on the NVS2825.
According to the comparison result, the
NVS2825 operates as follows:

Hard Disk Drives
Back up data is stored in the "NvsAir" folder. This
folder is created automatically. The NVS2825
generates a new folder for each memory card copy.
The name of the folder is determined by the shooting
date.
For example, 20121112.000 means the last footage
recorded on November 12, 2012. (If you copy multiple
items on a single day, the last three digits will be
changed to indicate the download sequence –
“000, 001,002, 003, etc.) The date code comes from
the video cameras. If the date setting on the video
camera is incorrect, the folder name of NVS2825 will
also be incorrect.
If a copying failure occurs, the copy is stored on your
computer as a TMP folder. The TMP folder contains
the same file names, but the data may be abnormal.
You may delete the TMP folder.
