Erasing and Formatting Media
The erase and format features allow you to format media for use with the DVR. Although media can be formatted on a PC, Pelco recommends
that the media be formatted on the DVR to ensure optimal equipment function.
The DVR does not support a weekly or daily backup to CD/DVD media. If you try to format a CD or DVD when the unit is configured for a weekly
or daily backup, a warning message appears. For information about supported media, refer to Table G on page 52.
To erase or format media data:
1. Connect or insert the backup media.
2. From the System menu, click Backup.
3. Click Erase.
4. Click OK.
5. Click OK again after the media is formatted.
6. Click Close.
