Database Repair Action
Select which action to take if the database becomes corrupted:
Repair, scan, delete if fails: Default action. If the database
becomes corrupted, two different repair methods will be
attempted: a fast repair and a thorough repair. If both repair
methods fail, the contents of the database will be deleted.
Repair, delete if fails: If the database becomes corrupted, a
fast repair will be attempted. If the fast repair fails, the contents
of the database will be deleted.
Repair, archive if fails: If the database becomes corrupted, a
fast repair will be attempted. If the fast repair fails, the contents
of the database will be archived.
Delete (no repair): If the database becomes corrupted, the
contents of the database will be deleted.
Archive (no repair): If the database becomes corrupted, the
contents of the database will be archived.
If you choose an action to repair a corrupt database, this corrupt
database is closed while it is repaired. Instead, a new database is
created to allow recordings to continue.
XProtect Smart Client can often repair a corrupt database if it has
been archived. When you open the corrupt database in XProtect
Smart Client, XProtect Smart Client repairs the database
automatically if at all possible.
Tip: There are several things you can do to
prevent
(see "
protecting recording databases from corruption
your databases become corrupt in the first place.
Configure Dynamic Paths
With dynamic archiving paths, you specify a number of different
archiving paths, usually across several drives. If the drive
containing the camera's database is among the path you have
selected for dynamic archiving, XProtect Go always tries to archive
to that path first. If not, XProtect Go automatically archives to the
archiving drive with the most available space at any time, provided
there is not a camera database using that drive. See also Dynamic
path selection (see "Dynamic path selection (properties)" on page
74).
