recording capacity to that of the DVSR xU itself. If you change this option, you must reboot the
DVSR xU to implement the change.

Description
Extend the recording capacity of the DVSR xU. If the e-SATA storage device is part of the
total storage capacity then only the USB storage device can be used as backup.
Backup data onto an e-SATA backup device, such as a USB storage device, DVSR DVR, or
DVSR backup device. For further information see also section Archiving recorded files on
page 19.
Caution: If the external storage is part of the total internal capacity (the Record option has
been selected), the external device is no longer accessible for exporting video.
