BACKING UP VIDEO DATA
BACKUP OVERVIEW
The Backup Center allows you to back up recorded video data from multiple dates and times to one or
more locations including the DVD-RW drive, Network Storage Locations, and External Hard Drives.
The recorder can easily backup important video data to an internal or external media location. The most
commonly used forms of this are CD-Rs, DVD-Rs, External USB or FireWire Hard Drives, and Network
Drives. Every recorder comes equipped with a DVD-RW drive, USB port, and Network Adapter.
The recorder is capable of performing a backup to multiple CD/DVDs when the file sizes exceed the
capacity of a single disk. You may also specify multiple locations for backup as well as the order they
are recorded to.
The recorder backs up video data using a proprietary compression format that can only be read by the
OpenEye Backup Viewer software. This ensures the integrity of the data.
Throughout the backup process the recorder will continue recording data without interruption. This is the
result of the tremendous multiplexing power of the recorder, which allows it to perform virtually all
functions without disrupting the recording process.
Nero ® Express
The recorder uses Windows

®
Embedded running Nero

Express 9.0 to write data to the DVD-RW
Drive. This solution allows the recorder software to read and write data to the DVD-RW Drive without
formatting the disk first.
Caution
Although many features are available within Nero, it is highly recommended that you do
NOT use any features other than those necessary for the standard backup of video data
as outlined in this section, loss of information or software instability may result.
