Backup for Archiving (Long-Term Storage of Data)
When making a backup of data for long-term archive, you must back up the following data:
• Recorded video data ---- It is recommended to make an incremental backup of this data. See P. 7-5
for the file names and storage location.
• Event data ------------------ It is recommended to make an incremental backup of this data. See P. 7-7
for the file names and storage location.
• Configuration file ---------- Usually, make a backup of the configuration file when the system is
installed, and do it again each time you change the settings of the VK-64/
VK-16. However, if the management is complicated, you can perform a full
backup every day. See P. 7-7 for the storage location.
Notes on Backing Up Recorded Video Data
Video data being recorded is saved in a temporary file, and the file is settled and saved as video data when its
size reaches 1 GB (by default) to the storage drive. The temporary file cannot be backed up in the normal
procedure. Therefore, backup only the settled files. See "Backup for Data Protection" (
 P. 7-8) for details.
When choosing the backup device, consider the backup unit. For example, if the backup unit is 100 through
400 GB, use a high-density tape device called LTO device. If it is around 2TB (far beyond 400 GB), consider
LTO auto loader device.
