From Thumb Drives to Network-Based Backups
For years, backing up CCTV inspections often meant copying databases and media to discs, thumb drives, or other portable storage and physically moving that data to the office. That process could be time-consuming, easy to postpone, and dependent on someone remembering to complete it.
The POSM Server Backup Tool simplifies that process by transferring inspection information from the field system to centralized POSM storage over the organization's network.
How the Server Backup Tool Works
When the inspection system is connected to the organization's network, the operator can start the backup from the POSM Backup Tool. The utility is designed to transfer the latest inspections to the centralized POSM environment.
- Identify and transfer the latest inspections from the field system.
- Move inspection database information and associated media into centralized storage.
- Make backed-up inspections available for office review, editing, and reporting.
Once the transfer is underway, the operator can move on to other end-of-day tasks while inspection data is moved into the office environment.
Available with POSM Server and Storage
The POSM Server Backup Tool is supported with both POSM Server and POSM Storage. These office-software options provide centralized access to inspection information for organizations that need to move completed field data into a shared office environment.
Combined with POSM inspection software in the field, the backup workflow helps crews, editors, project managers, and other authorized users work from the same centralized inspection library.
Why It Matters
A consistent backup workflow reduces the amount of manual file handling required from field crews and helps move completed inspections into centralized storage sooner.
Keeping inspection data and media organized in a central location also makes it easier for office staff to review completed work, generate reports, respond to customer requests, and locate historical inspection information.
