periodic backup of all recordings and system settings stored over time.
Network based backup & restore is a standard feature of the APRESA.
For backup click on the WEB interface: Tools -> System -> Backup
Specify the network location to store the backup data, the start and end date (backup period)
etcetera. and enable backup.

REPLACEMENT OF HARDWARE MAY HAVE LICENSING ISSUES
he APRESA software is protected against illegal copying. This protection is based on the linkage of
the software license and the hardware signature of the system that was used at first installation.
In case of failing hardware you must (obviously) locate and replace the failing hardware parts.
• Replacing the power supply(s) never involves software re-installation or licensing issues.
• Replacing the hard drive involves new software installation & licensing. Simply re-use the
base software license you have. Then perform a restore backup operation to restore all
settings and recordings on the APRESA. No licensing issues will occur.
• Replacing the motherboard WILL cause a licensing issue. Because the APRESA software
license is based on the hardware signature of several unique properties that are located on
the motherboard APRESA will detect a licensing issue. On the WEB (home) page this issue
will be displayed as shown below:
