IMPORTANT
When backing up settings or logs, creating the backup files takes time.
When the backup operation takes 10 minutes or more, a communication timeout may occur. In this case all of the backup data may not be obtained. Therefore, we recommend completing backup operations within 10 minutes. It is also possible to check whether or not the correct data was obtained by restoring the obtained data (excluding log data).
Restore
[Setup data]
Press the [Browse...] button and select the setup data files to restore.
Click the radio button respective to the desired option to determine whether or not to also restore network related setting contents.
Click the [Execute] button to start restoring. Do not perform operations until the restoration is complete. (The camera will be rebooted when the restoration is complete.)
Make sure to set the file name of setup data files used when restoring to “model name.dat”. (The model name must be written in lower case letters and “WV-” is not needed.)
Default: Restores data except for setting data related to network settings
IMPORTANT
When 5 minutes or more is required to restore setup data files, there is a possibility that the restore will fail because or reasons such as transmission disconnections.
In this case, restore setup data files again.
Note
Restore operations for setup data are not applied to HTTPS related settings.
