Hi All, I need a little advice.
I was lucky enough to pick up a project here at the office where we need to archive data due to new Federal Regulations.
We have 3 kalatel DVMREe with what looks like 200 gig drives each and a total of 14 cameras. This has all been in place for a while now. The units record on motion and currently are writing to the internal drives.
I'm looking for advice on how to archive approximately 60 days worth of data from each of these devices as cost effectively as possible. I want to call the Kalatel's recording method proprietary but I believe the term is Embedded. Please excuse my lack of knowledge here but I'm working on it.
My first thought was using something like waveReader to record then have these files backed up during our night time backup process. There are manual steps involved, and again this was my first thought and it does appear that it will create some very large .rdb files. We will need a way to easily retrieve the data if the need arises, so that is why I thought the PC way might be the way to go.. Again I'm new.. sorry.
We have oddles of backup space so I don't see that as being a problem...
Thoughts? Suggestions? Am I totally going in the wrong direction?
thanks in advance.
Butch
