Redundancy function allows you to memorize record file in several disks. When there
is file damage occurred in one disk, there is a spare one in the other disk. You can use
this function to maintain data reliability and safety.

In the main menu, from Setting->Storage-> Schedule, you can highlight
redundancy button to enable this function.

In the main menu, from Main menu->Setting->Storage->HDD Manager, you can set
one or more disk(s) as redundant. You can select from the dropdown list. System
auto overwrites old files once hard disk is full.
Please note only read/write disk or read-only disk can backup file and support file
search function, so you need to set at least one read-write disk otherwise you can not
record video.
