As you set up drives, keep in mind:

  • The customer is responsible for the storage and integrity of removable media.

  • To archive to a network file share, the Archiver service must be run in a named account. This must be an account (not LocalSystem) that has permissions for the file share.

  • To use a single defined media for multiple drives, the media must point to a shared network folder that the recorders can access.

  • To use local devices, create separate media definitions for each device and assign each media to a separate drive. Example: Two recorders each have a physically attached device. Define one device as Media A and one as Media B. Then assign Media A to Drive 1 and Media B to Drive 2.

New devices and alarms

If archive devices are changed, for example a new device added with a new name, old alarms may need to be cleared manually in Recorder Manager; they will not be cleared automatically.
