The link to your website doesn't work chief.

Hindsight is .....a curse! lol. I guess you know you are right and now I'd have to agree, I only have small business so the DIY version I did for myself was the way to go, never realised backing up would be such a pain though, hardly ever need to but it's when you do it's a right pain in the backside.

Hi Damai, that's a booger, I hoped that would work and help me out too. Can you play those files in the videoplayer software that comes with the dvr's from Avtech? When I backup to cd it also saves that player on the cd to watch them with if required, do you get that same thing and does that player play these files? This should all be so much easier to do!

There is a cd drive, most you can get is about an hour of each of 3 camera's onto a cd, it has usb but you can only use certain memory sticks up to 500mb, useless, can't get an external hard drive to be FAT32 as it needs to be or recognised at all, and as they are over 500mb it doesn't work with that either.

Same here, been struggling for a while backing it up, endless cd's, can only use a small flash drive, why? Can't use an external hard drive, why? Doesn't make using the system very easy and all I'm trying to do is back up 6 hours of one day for 3 camera's, I have the avtech 4 channel mpeg-4 dvr. Another thing is if there is a power cut the timer etc reverts back to Jan 2000, is there a backup battery in the machine or any other reason it loses date etc when the power cuts? Then if you want to look at recordings from current year 2011 it's a nightmare as you can't navigate to it anymore. I'll maybe try that download that Leo mentions, Damai did you try that and have any success? I haven't ever updated the firmware, should I do that and does it make any difference to this backup issue? Thanks!
