Summary
GV-Backup Center is a backup program, typically installed at an offsite location, used to remotely back up all recordings from the connected GV-DVR/NVR/VMS.
Oftentimes, users may want to only back up the recordings of the GV-DVR/NVR/VMS starting from a specified date, and ignore the ample amount of prior recordings. To do this, follow the procedures below.
Note: All procedures must be done locally at the GV-DVR/NVR/VMS you want to back up.
Procedures
The following procedures are exemplified using GV-VMS.
- Click Home > Toolbar > Network to make sure the Backup Center Service is disabled. If not, disable it by deselecting Backup Center.
