3xLOGIC VIGIL Server - Manual (Page 147)

11.2 Using a Virtual File Server for Video Storage
It is possible to use a drive on a network server as a video storage destination via the installation of a Virtual File
Server (VFS) on a PC. Due to the way Windows Networking writes files across the network it is not suitable for a VIGIL
Server to use mapped drives. VFS uses a proprietary method of writing the files across the network. VFS is only used
for writing files across a local network, it is not meant for writing files across the internet.
Install the Virtual File Server on the PC with the Hard Drives for network storage. Run the VFS Manager software
(Start | Programs | VIGIL and open VFS Manager).
