System Backup & Recovery


10 System Backup & Recovery

The NVR introduces a Backup and Recovery Tool. By a VHD (Virtual Hard Disk)

inside, the Backup and Recovery Tool allows backing up the system state,

including the software settings, on a certain date and time so the state can be

recovered when some day in the future the system or the application is

misbehaving or just doesn't cooperate with your operation. With the Backup and

Recovery Tool, the system can also be brought to factory defaults.

In the following of this chapter, you will be guided to the following subjects:

10.1 Back up System State

10.2 Recover System State

10.1 Back up System State

It relies on the Backup and Recovery Tool to bring the system back to the much

more stable state on a previous date and time. To enable such recovery, the

backup of system state (including software settings) is necessary.

To back up the system state:

Restart the system.

When Windows Boot Manager shows onscreen, select Backup and Restore Tools.

The “Backup and Restore Tools” then shows onscreen.

Select option 1, which should be a storage device, by entering 1 and hitting the Enter key.

Select Backup by entering 1 and hitting the Enter key.

If you select any option by mistake, enter 0 and hit the Enter key to go back to the previous step.

Select option 1.



EN

From the available options onscreen, select the desired backup feature and hit the Enter key.

A summary of the available backup features:

Option Backup Feature Description

1 Back up file to the local disk

Backs up the system state to local storage. The local storage only allows one backup file,

which means an earlier backup file is always overwritten by a later one.

2 Back up file to the external disk

Backs up the system state to external storage. You can save as many as backup files as you

want to as long as the external disk has enough space.

Follow the onscreen instructions to proceed.

Select the desired backup feature.



10.2 Recover System State

It relies on the Backup and Recovery Tool to bring the system (including software

settings) back to a previous state or even back to factory defaults while the system

was more stable. Before you proceed, save all your important files such as license,

log and so on to some external storage; otherwise they will be erased during the

recovery.

To recover a previous system state:

Restart the system.

When Windows Boot Manager shows onscreen, select Backup and Restore Tools.

The Backup and Restore Tools then shows onscreen.

Select option 1, which should be a storage device, by entering 1 and hitting the Enter key.

Select Restore by entering 2 and hitting the Enter key.

1. To back up the system state, see 10.1 Back up System State. 2. If you select any option by mistake, enter 0 and hit the Enter key to go

back to the previous step.

From the available options onscreen, select the desired recovery feature and hit the Enter key.

A summary of the available recovery features:

Option Recovery Feature Description

1 Restore system to factory default

Restores the system state to factory defaults.

2 Restore system with a local backup file

Brings the NVR (including software settings) back to a previous state that is saved on local storage.

3 Restore system with an external backup file

Brings the NVR (including software settings) back to a previous state that is saved on external storage.

Select option 1.

Select the desired recovery feature.



EN

To back up the system state, see 10.1 Back up System State.

Follow the onscreen instructions to proceed.

Once the recovery is through, the system auto-restarts to apply the change.

Troubleshooting


11 Troubleshooting

I can’t successfully format a hard disk drive when I create a volume. Why?

The hard disk might be broken so you must replace it with a new hard disk drive

and try to create the volume again as described in 9.1 Create Recording

Volumes on page 35.

When the OS file system is FAT32 and NVR Manager is installed in the same

drive as the OS then it will always fail to create a volume. Always change the

OS file system to NTFS or install NVR Manager in another partition other than

the OS partition then try to create the volume again.

The NVR Manager shows "0.0.0.0" for the system’s IP address. Why?

There are two Ethernet adapter cards in the system but the NVR always uses

the newly added one by default. Disable one of the cards and change the IP

setting if necessary and then restart the system and NVR Manager.

The NVR’s Ethernet adapter card isn’t connected to the network switch.

Connect the Ethernet cable to the network switch and then restart the NVR

service and NVR Manager.

I can’t find any camera by Auto Discovery. Why?

The camera’s IP address has different subnet settings from the NVR (the

Ethernet adapter card).

It is likely that the camera isn’t supported by the NVR, please see the supported

cameras list at Vanderbilt website at: www.vanderbiltindustries.com

I can't get any video after the camera is added. Why?

The possible root cause might be:

Wrong username and password

Wrong IP address

Firewall or Anti-Virus software blocks the communication port required on the

camera (ex: 554 for Axis)

Network wire or power cable is disconnected.

The total camera bandwidth is over network bandwidth
