Hard Disk Drive Partition Maintenance
The Hard Disk Drive (HDD) contains a video database into which all video is
recorded. Partitioning the HDD into normal and event partitions, or changing the size
of the event partition, can affect your video database.
NOTE: Purging of all recorded video is highly recommended every time the
HDD partition is changed in order to avoid record database corruption.
Remember to export any important data before you change the size of the event
partition. After you change the size of the (event) partition, please purge video from
both the normal and event partitions using the Purge Recording Data item on the
Record menu (see
Purge Recording Data on page 49). Formatting the HDD is a
preferable alternative to purging. Frequent purging of recorded video during
maintenance review is also recommended. For information about formatting the
HDD, see
Format HDD on page 90.
