3.3.4 Backing up individual archives (automatic database backup)
The database backup function can be used to automatically transfer existing archives to other
storage drives.
This function is useful in “BGV-Kassen” mode, for example.
As alarm archives are never overwritten automatically and need to be deleted manually, these
can be transferred elsewhere using the database backup function, after which the archive can
be deleted.
Please note that the database backup function is not compatible with removable media such
as CD/DVD or USB sticks. A removable hard disk drive is necessary here.
Setting up a data backup:
- Connect the external disk drive with the USB port on the video system.
- Open the system configuration and switch the view switch to the Database / Storage
view (point 4).
- Select the Drives point from the
list on the left.
- Select the connected storage
drive (e.g. E:\) and select Backup
read & write in the Usage field.
- Save your settings.
- Switch the view switch to the
Actions view (point 3) and select Backup processes from the list on the left.
- Click on the New button and give the process a name. If the New button is not
activated, then no storage drive could be found with the Backup read & write property.
In this case, repeat all the steps for setting up a database backup.
- Select the archive to be backed up and the desired storage drive.
- Activate the Delete at success option, when required. The archive is then
automatically emptied when the backup has been made successfully. Define a backup
period. It is possible to either save the entire archive or only the last 24 hours.
