Backup
If you need to export a large amount of camera video, it is faster to back up the content into Avigilon Backup
(AVK) format. AVK files can be opened in the Avigilon™ Control Center Player and re-exported as needed.
It is recommended that you export video of individual events and back up video for your archives. See Export
for more information.
In the Enterprise Edition of the software, you can set the system to back up files automatically on a schedule. For
information about configuring automatic backup, see
Scheduled Backup .
Backing Up Recorded Video On Demand
If you want a copy of the recorded video in your system, use the backup feature. Video is always backed up in
Avigilon Backup (AVK) format. You can review the backed up video in the Avigilon Control Center Player.
If you want backups to occur automatically at a scheduled time, see Scheduled Backup . This feature is only
available in the Enterprise Edition.
The backup files are stored in a backup folder set by the Avigilon™ Control Center Admin Tool. See the Avigilon
Control Center Server User Guide for information about changing the backup folder.
