The temporary file cannot be backed up until it is converted into video data.
You should choose the backup hardware best suited for the backup data quantity. Basically, you should use
the DDS type device if a single backup copies 1 through 10 GB of data, and AIT device if it copies 10 GB
through 100 GB of data, and LTO device if it copies 100 through 400 GB of data. If you need more capacity,
you need to consider multiple backup devices. Also, it is recommended to use a backup device with a high

system.
