System Migration
NVR server system migration is necessary when there is a need to upgrade your NVR server
for functions supported in newer version, or a replacement of current server computer. The
migration process will involve a series of different procedures including backup, un-installation,
installation and restoration, which should be executed carefully to prevent from loss of
important data. You should go though the instructions of required procedures before the
migration starts. This chapter will lead you through the procedures for managing a safe
migration process.
Migrate from NVR 2.3 to NVR 3
The NVR Server
has a disparate database structure from previous ACTi NVR systems’.
Therefore, the backup files and video files created from NVR 2.3 server are not compatible
with NVR Server.
ACTi provides a backup converter utility to create a system settings backup directly from NVR
2.3.03 for NVR 3 to restore, in this way, you may directly carry the whole server settings to
NVR 3 system with a single backup file.Therefore, if you are currently using an ACTi NVR 2.x
