# 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.

## NVS Backup History&#x20;

After completing the settings, you can monitor the NVS backup history from each camera's detail page.  you can access here from **Configure > Camera > Details > Summary**&#x20;

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
