1. Introduction
In order to enable users to backup files more quickly and conveniently, and considering that video files need to be played on the computer side in some specific situations, we have added the Auto Backup function in NVR, which can regularly backup video and ensure video security.
Note: Auto Backup function is based on eSATA function, which is only available for NVR 8000 Series with firmware version XX.9.0.12 or above.
