Backing Up Setting Values You can batch back up the settings of multiple cameras. The camera setting information can be loaded and then exported as a backup file. A backup file can be used to restore the same settings as when the cameras were backed up or to apply the same settings to other cameras. Important • Do not disconnect a network cable or turn off the power of a camera during the backup process. Doing so may cause a camera to malfunction. • Do not launch this tool on multiple computers and then perform a backup simultaneously from multiple computers. Doing so may cause a camera to malfunction. • Back up cameras while there is no connection to them. If, for example, a camera's Viewer or Admin Tools is open, close it. • During the backup process, the camera will restart, temporarily interrupting all connections. 5 Camera Maintenance Specifying the Save Location for Backup Files Before performing a backup, specify the save location for backup files. 1 Select [File] > [Environmental Settings].
