2.2. How to get to the
Incremental Backup
- Start the device
- Press soft key button “Device”
- Scroll down to the second entry “USB
Incremental Backup”
Now you have 2 options:
1.) Incremental Backup to External Disk
This option will initialize the process of the
incremental backup.
2.) Remove Backup from External Disk
Be careful: This option will remove the data
form the external device
2.3. Advices before you start
the backup
Before you start the (incremental) backup
process we suggest to plug the AC power
adapter to both units because the procedure
will take a while. We also recommend to do the
first full backup overnight.
2.4. Make your first
(Incremental) Backup
We recommend to use a “GIGA One” as external
backup device. If you chose to use an other
device the requirements are: self-sufficient
power supply (battery or AC adapter), formatted
in FAT32, just one partition on the HDD.
Start the process as followed:
- Start the device
- Press soft key button “Device”
- Scroll down to the second entry “USB
Incremental Backup”
- Press on option 1 “Incremental Backup to
External Disk”
Before you continue turn off the external
device.
Now you are asked to:
“connect an external disk on the lower
USB connector on the right side of the device”
Use the special USB adapter you received with
your “GIGA Vu extreme”. As soon as you turn on
the external device (such as the GIGA One) the
process will start automatically.
The next screen will show:
Updating to “GVE_Backup” on external disk
Please wait…(999 files updated)
The device creates a folder in the root menu on
the external device called “GVE_Backup”. This is
the folder in which you all data stored on your
“GIGA Vu extreme”.
Be patient, because depending on the amount
of data stored on the HDD of your “GIGA Vu
extreme” it can take a while to create the full
first backup.
As soon as the complete backup is done you
get a new screen:
Finished
Done updating 99999 files
Pressing the soft key “Done” lets you return to
the menu where you can choose between the
two options: “Incremental Backup to External
Disk” or “Remove Backup from External Disk”.
You can now unplug both devices.
The first backup process is done and on both
devices, the GIGA Vu extreme and on the
external HDD you will find identical data.
2.5. Regular “Incremental
Backup”
After your first successful basic backup of your
data you can now proceed to download more
images and files onto your GIGA Vu extreme.
