What is mirroring?
You can create a redundant mirror of a
hard disk by installing an additional
hard disk. This enables “mirroring”, in
which the same video data are
recorded into two identical disks at the
same time.
Mirroring provides a fault tolerance
benefit because, when one of the two
disks has failed resulting in a read/write
error, you can continue to read the
video data with the other disk.
• When you initialize a hard disk, all
the data recorded on the disk are
lost. You should therefore store
important data on another storage
medium in advance. For how to
back up the data, refer to the
DVR’s user’s manual.
• When you install an additional
hard disk, be sure to initialize it. In
this case, you cannot selectively
initialize a particular hard disk; all
the installed hard disks are
initialized. For how to install an
additional hard disk, consult your
dealer.
• Take extreme care not to turn off
the power to the DVR during the
initialization.
