If the USB hard disk's file system has been damaged, restarting the DVR will not solve the problem and the aforementioned error message will continue to be displayed each time you attempt a backup.

If the system's clock is changed to a point in the past, overlapping recordings may be produced. Overlapped recordings have to be searched in segments.

For example, making a recording from 1 o'clock to 5 o'clock, changing the system's clock at 5 o'clock to 3 o'clock, and then continuing to record until 6 o'clock produces two recordings that overlap between 3 o'clock and 5 o'clock. This results in two segments for the period between 3 and 5.
