joegrab 0 Posted August 30, 2009 I need to backup some files from 8/28 to CD. My problem is on 8/29 I power cycled the DVR and the date reset to Jan 2000. Now when I try to backup data past 8/29 I get 8/29 files, it won't go past 8/29. The data is there because I can seach for system event and bring it up in playback mode.

Soundy 1 Posted August 31, 2009 What sort of DVR is this? If it's PC-based, you can probably just go into the data drives and back up the necessary files... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joegrab 0 Posted August 31, 2009 It's a AVTECH AVC 787 - It too has a dead battery and during a backup process it hung and had to be power cycled which reset the date/time to Jan 1, 2000. Apparently the Backup option searches backwards though the recorded data by date and when it hit's the time stamp Jan 1, 2000 it stops the searching. I can view the Aug 28th footage using search system events. The audio and video are intact. I am unable to trigger a backup to CD or USB from that playback screen. I need to backup video w/audio from Aug 28th. I can't get the audio to play over the network so CD/USB seems to be my only option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonb300 0 Posted September 1, 2009 what i did is i used a laptop to access the video web server then played the video of the desired date, then i clicked the log-in record button beside the snap shot on the web menu to record it camera per camera. its long, its complicated but that was my only option when it happend. the date change seems to mess up the storage database in the HDD thats why it doesn't search the file correctly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
