Destinations of the Backup Files

The data that is saved during a backup consists of

recording data, event data, and configuration files. The

data is backed up from the Storage Server and saved to

the folders described below, on the drives that are

specified in the drive settings (p. 48).

„ Recording Data

<Destination drive>:\Canon-NVR\videofiles

The following recording data file is backed up:

Video being recorded is saved to a temporary file on the

hard disk. By default, a recording file is created and

saved on the destination drive when the temporary file

size reaches 1 GB. This size can be changed using the

[Maximum File Size/Duration] option on the [Recording

Settings] tab in the [Storage Server Group Settings] dialog

box (p. 43).

Note

• Greenwich Mean Time is used for the time added to the file

name of the recording data.

• This software uses lossy compression for the recording data.

You do not need to compress the recording files further using a
tape drive or other devices.

Temporary Files

The following is a temporary file, before it is made into a

recording data file by the system. This file cannot be

backed up using the standard backup method.

„ Event Data

<Destination drive>:\Canon-NVR\eventfiles

The following event data file is backed up:

Note

Greenwich Mean Time is used for the time added to the file name

of the recording data.

„ Configuration Files

The settings for the Storage Server and the Viewer are

saved in the following folders on the computer where the

program is installed. You must back up all of these folders

to completely back up the configuration files.

Configuration file path
<System drive>:\ProgramData\Canon\WebView\NVR30\

<System drive>:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\

Canon\WebView\NVR30\

Note

• The configuration file names are not displayed unless [Show

hidden files and folders] is selected in the [View] tab of

Windows Explorer [Folder Options].

• You cannot use the shadow backup feature.

Notes on Backup

• You do not need to stop recording to back up recorded data

that is complete. However, the frame rate may change

because of increased disk I/O load and/or CPU load.

• If you want to restore a backed-up recording file, the computer

you restore the backup to must have the same IP address and
drive configuration as the original Storage Server. For

example, if the original Storage Server includes a system drive

and a recorded data drive, the Storage Server you restore the
backup to must also have a system drive and a recorded data

drive. Determine the hard disk capacity based on the volume

of data to be restored.
