Restore Data from Backup for Data Archiving

The following explains how to restore only necessary files from the data backup for archive.
1. Check that the drive configuration of the PC to which the files are restored is the same as the PC from which
the files were backed up.
Be sure that the hard disk has a capacity larger than the total size of the video data files to restore.
2. Install the VK-64/VK-16.
3. Restore the VK-64/VK-16's configuration file to the former location. The default location is as follows:
Configuration file path for OS other than Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008
<System Drive>:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data \Canon\WebView\NVR\
Configuration file path for Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008
<System Drive>:\ProgramData\Canon\WebView\NVR\
4. Uncheck the [Maximum retained history] option in the [Storage Server Configuration] window.
5. Launch the Viewer and delete all the schedules for all the Camera Servers in the [Recording Schedules] tab
under the [Settings] screen.
6. After deleting schedules, stop the Storage Server from the [Storage Server Configuration] window.
7. Restore video data files matching the date and time you want to play back to the former location. The default
location is as follows:
<Save video in>:\WebView-NVR\videofiles
8. Restore event data files matching the date and time you want to play back to the former location. The default
location is as follows:
<Save video in>:\WebView-NVR\eventfiles
9. Start the Storage Server from the [Storage Server Configuration] window.
10. Also check that restored video data is played back correctly.
Notes on Restoring Data from Backup for Data Archiving
• When restoring the configuration file, also the old recording setting information is restored as well.
After restoration, the PC may start recording video according to the old recording schedule. If you do
not want to record video, delete the recording schedules after restoration.
• If the [Maximum retained history] setting is used on the Storage Server, uncheck this option. If this
option is enabled, the past data may be lost.
