BACKUP OVERVIEW
The DVR can easily backup important video data to an internal or external media
location. The most commonly used forms of this are CD-R/RWs, External USB or
FireWire Hard Drives, and Network Drives. Every DVR unit comes standard equipped
with a CD-RW drive, FireWire port, USB port, and Network Adapter.
The DVR is capable of performing a backup to multiple CDs 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 DVR backs up video data using a proprietary compression format that can only be
read by the DVR Backup Program. This ensures the integrity of the data.
Throughout the backup process the DVR will continue recording without interruption.
This is the result of the tremendous multiplexing power of the DVR unit which allows it
to perform virtually all functions without disrupting the recording process.

NERO® EXPRESS
The DVR unit uses Windows® XP® Embedded running Nero® Express 6.0 to write
data to the CD-RW Drive. This solution allows the DVR software to read and write data
to the CD-RW Drive without the requirement of 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.
