The removable hard drive can be set to record to or as a backup drive. There are three ways available to duplicate the recorded video from HD 1 (Fixed HD) to HD 2 (Mobile Rack HD). First, the FULL backup option, duplicates all the recorded video from HD1 to HD2 (given HD2 is equal to or larger than HD1). Second, the ALARM backup option, duplicates only the alarm-event recorded video from HD 1 to HD2. Third, the SELECT backup option, manually duplicates selected video clips from HD1 to HD2.

Most external drives you purchase are formatted for PCs. If you are only going to use it with your Mac then you should reformat the drive by using "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". If you are gong to use it with your Mac and a PC then use "MS-DOS file system" format. To format or reformat a drive you will have to erase it. So before you erase the drive, copy your files to another drive.

Yes, in fact that's a good idea. Just go to Tools | Options | Open & Save and set the backup location to be the network or removable drive. Keep in mind that this works much better, of course, with machines that are always connected to that network or removable drive.

We support removable fixed disk pull-out drawers. We support removable fixed disks in pullout drawers. We do not officially support JAZ or SyQuest or other removable devices. However, in our own offices we are successfully backing up and restoring data to a JAZ drive, but we never intend to boot from the JAZ. If you are using a removable drive as the DPSR drive, it is likely that the backup will not be bootable. We do not recommend using a removable drive for disaster recovery purposes.

DriveCopy will automatically resize the partitions on the source hard drive to fit the smaller drive, provided that the used space on the larger drive is equal to or smaller than the capacity of the smaller hard drive.

All of our hard drive silencing products are designed to enclose a standard hard drive, and in doing so will increase the overall size of the drive so that it no longer fits into a 3.5 inch bay, but instead will need a 5.25 inch bay. Therefore you must decide whether it is more important to have a nearly silent hard drive, or an easily removable hard drive, but not both.

Unfortunately the SilentDrive will not work with hard drive caddies, because both products are designed to enclose a standard hard drive, and in doing so, increase the overall size of the drive so that it no longer fits into a 3.5 inch bay, but instead needs a 5.25 inch bay. Therefore the customer must decide whether it is more important to have nearly silent hard drives, or easily removable hard drives, but not both.

long as your kernel is new enough you should not need to modify drivers or kernel to use RDX SATA or USB drives. A few useful Linux commands are listed below. Refer to the man pages for each command for more information. Use the eject command with the device or partition handle to eject the cartridge. When using a default formatted (NTFS) cartridge you will likely need to reformat to EXT3 for use with Linux. Please refer to the instructions here for more information.

The RDX USB drive will work on Mac OSX systems without any additional driver installation. Simply plug the media storage drive USB into an available USB port. The RDX USB should be able to be accessed through the "Disk Utility" application after plugging in and powering up. (Under the "Finder" application, select Applications->Utilities->Disk Utility.) If using a default (NTFS) formatted cartridge, you will need to reformat for MAC OS Extended (HFS+.

Removable hard disk drive cartridge formatting steps vary based on the operating system used. Links to formatting instructions based on OS are listed below.

Yes, we can upgrade your system to a larger drive capacity and add a removable hard drive at an additional cost. Note: A removable hard drive is now a standard feature on all Hawk PCI models.

There is a list of files that are excluded by default with a full hard drive backup. These files are commonly temporary or unimportant files for which a backup is unnecessary. If you wish to include these files in your backup procedures, then follow these simple steps: In the upper left corner is the pull-down menu for View. Click on it and select Exclude file list....

So-called 'mirroring' or replicating your entire hard drive over the Internet isn't really practical yet, especially with hard drives that are growing beyond 100GB in size. Backup only those files you could not afford to lose, rather than your operating system or application files (i.e., Microsoft Word).

Regarding your particular question, basically we do not recommend to backup you're the entire drive using GrandBackup because it doesn't do sector copy of the disk, just data copy. In most cases the files that you need to back up are your data files. If you lose the hard disk, you can install the program files and other software from the original CDs or diskettes but your data files are the most valuable material and they need to be restored from your own backups.

For a generic RDX removable hard disk drive Users guide installation quick reference, please see the RDX Users Guide.

The users guide for your RDX removable media storage product should be downloaded from RDX partner support sites. Links to RDX partner sites are available here.

WinRescue will back up to an external harddrive as long as it is listed in Windows Explorer as a regular harddrive. WinRescue backs up files and not a harddrive image. So, the harddrive's boot information is not backed up. Making a Boot Disk in WinRescue (95/98/ME) will save the boot information on a diskette.

Windows: By default, the preferences are stored in HKCU/Software/BitWise Chat/BitWise. Optionally, you may store the preferences in BitWise.ini in your home folder by pressing "Setup" prior to logging in and specifying you wish to store your preferences in that file rather than the registry. Detached mode allows you to use basic client features even when your computer cannot maintain communication with the BitWise server.

Both Netscape and Microsoft have measures in place that limit the number of cookies that will be saved on your hard drive at one time. Both Internet Explorer and Netscape conform to the RFC 2109 limitations on your total cookie count to 300 (this includes a limit of 20 cookies per individual domain). If you exceed this, the browser will discard your least-used cookies to make room for the new ones.

After a cookie is transmitted through an HTTP header, it is stored in the memory of your browser. This way the information is quickly and readily available without re-transmission. As we have seen, however, it is possible for the lifetime of a cookie to greatly exceed the amount of time the browser will be open. In such cases, the browser must have a way of saving the cookie when you are not browsing, or when your computer is shut off.

Check question number 6 about startup disks; most people need these because of hard disk problems. Apple provides an "erase disk" option on their main menu which will re-initialize some but not all hard drives. Apple also has a "disk test" utility to test formatted disks. There is also a popular control panel add on for "SCSI probe" which is helpful, check various Mac shareware sites for it.

Each person who has logged into the computer will have his or her files and settings stored in a folder named with his or her user name. Only the person who is logged in (or an Administrator) can access his or her personal folder. To find these user folders: The My Documents folder is located within this user folder (Note: The My Documents icon on your desktop is a shortcut to this folder). Files that were saved to the desktop are located in the Desktop folder.

The solution to this problem is on the backup options screen. There is a checkbox that if unchecked will prevent the files on removable media from being displayed in the backup file selection.

Sure you can. Add the root directory to the backup list and add each directory direct connected to the root by clicking on button +Dir/+SubDir(s) With dfg BackUp XP (Vers.2.2.2 or higher) you can define a profile (file collection) containing all files of your drives. Note: If the number of files on the drive is very high, define limitations to the maximum number of files or size of ZIP archives.

Continuity of our clients' data is ensured by the use of RAID devices on the Remote Backup servers. Further, all the data is backed up and moved offsite.

Simply put this is to your advantage for both cost and flexibility. Disk recorders with built in Hard drives require the entire unit be used together. With the DR-DV5000 the drive is removed from the core unit and connected to the computer for the editor to use. Another drive can be inserted into the DR-DV5000 so the videographers can continue to shoot. You can also choose the size of drive that suits your needs. There will be 20-40-60- & 80 gig drives available.

Whether it is a removable drive like a ZIP or an EZ drive (or even a floppy, if you want to use it that way), or a new hard disk, once it is installed and recognized by the system, and you have your cartridge/floppy/whatever slotted in, things are pretty much the same for all devices.
