Backup for Archiving (Long-Term Storage of Data)
When making a backup of data for long-term archive, you must back up the following data:
Recorded video data ---- It is recommended to make an incremental backup of this data.
Refer to P. 217 for the file names and storage location.
Event data ----------------- It is recommended to make an incremental backup of this data.
Refer to P. 218 for the file names and storage location.
Configuration file --------- Usually, make a backup of the configuration file when the
system is installed, and do it again each time you change the
settings of the VK-64/VK-16. However, if doing so makes
management complicated, you can perform a full backup every
day. Refer to P. 218 for the storage location.
Notes on Backing Up Recorded Video Data
Video data being recorded is saved in a temporary file, and the file is settled and saved as
video data when its size reaches 1 GB (by default) to the storage drive. The temporary file
cannot be backed up in the normal procedure. Therefore, backup only the settled files.
Refer to “Backup for Data Protection” (P. 219) for details.
When choosing the backup device, consider the backup unit. For example, if the backup
unit is 100 through 400 GB, use a high-density tape device called “LTO device”. If it is
around 2TB (far beyond 400 GB), consider LTO auto loader device.
