Settings Tools
Backup - Click this button to export the system settings to a file. You will be
asked to name the backup set. This ONLY backs up the DVR Server Settings, not the
recording data, Windows settings, or any other information. Useful for taking a system
settings backup in case of a system failure or just before testing new settings. The settings
can also be copied to other Airship servers when configuring multiple units. The Server
Settings are stored under the Server's installation directory, usually at C:\Program
Files\Airship\\Server\Settings\Manual\. Each backup set has a unique folder name. Be sure
to copy the entire folder contents when copying the backup set to another DVR or location.
Restore - Click this button to restore a previously exported settings file. You will
select from a list of previous backups.
Reset - This button wipes all settings of the Server software. This should not be
done unless a problem needs troubleshooting and wiping all settings is necessary to attempt
to repair the system. ALL server settings, including ALL user settings, schedules, etc, will be
lost. Only previously taken backups can be restored, or a complete manual re-setup of the
server is required.
Import - Used to upgrade from Pre 4.2 Server Versions. Click this button to
import the registry entries from a pre-release 4.2 server into the new xml setup format.
A) Uninstall the existing 4.1x software.
B) Install the new software and run this Server Setup Tool FIRST.
C) Run this Import and save the file to C:\Program Files\Airship\Server\Setup\setup.xml.
This saves the registry to the new xml format.
D) Launch the Airship Server to use your imported settings.
