# Camera Footage Backup to NVS

EnGenius Cameras can record footage to NVS for longer days and benefit from its RAID redundancy. Cameras do not stop recording in it. Both storages do their retentions independently. The backup is across networks in the same organization.

You can access this page from **Organization > Video Backups > Backup to NVS**

* **Enable Backup**: Turn on or off video backup to NVS for the selected camera(s). Turn off the video backup will permanently delete existing recordings stored on the NVS for the camera
* **Retention Days**: Footage older than the configured number of days will be deleted, or earlier if the NVS storage becomes full.
* **Max Backup Size:** Limit the maximum storage space used by each camera on the NVS. When enabled, video footage for each camera will not exceed the specified size.
* **Backup to:** The list displays all NVS devices within the same organization.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://doc.engenius.ai/home-cloud-user-manual/managing-organizations/video-backup/camera-footage-backup-to-nvs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
