You can create a manual backup if required. The backup then corresponds to a snapshot of the currently saved data.

In the ibaHD Manager, select Backup tab – follow-up tab Create, menu button <Create backups manually...>.

In the Manually create backup compilation dialog, make the necessary settings.

Stores

Select the HD stores that are to be created for the backup.

Range

Select whether the backup is to be complete or whether only a defined time range should be saved.

In the event of a complete backup, you can divided this into several backups, such as each the length of a month.

Target

Enter the destination path for the backup file or select it using the browser. If necessary (network drive), specify a user name and password.

Use the <Test> button to check whether the destination path is reachable.

Bandwidth

Here you can enable and adjust the upper limit for the data throughput. The standard setting is “disabled” and 1.5 MB/s. If the HD recording is running and the ibaHD-Server is heavily loaded by the recording or queries, you can enable the limit and reduce the value even more if necessary so that the system is not overloaded. In this case, the duration of the backup is increased.

Size

In addition to the current storage conditions on the hard disk, the estimated storage requirements of the backup are also shown to you here. If you have changed the settings for the destination path or time period, click on the <Update> button to adjust the calculated values.

Then click on <OK> to start the backup.

The progress of the backup is shown in the Create tab in the Active backups area.

Once the backup is complete, it will be shown below in the Backup history area.
