−	Our software runs on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. It does not come preconfigured with any automated backup software. From a redundancy perspective, our hardware does ship with different RAID levels for the different volumes (typically RAID1 mirror for OS and software and RAID5 for video storage volume). It is recommended to backup the MySQL database (v3). This database contains all the unique software settings and video pointers required to rebuild the OS volume. If you have an existing backup system to integrate with that is recommended, and if you do not wish to perform MySQL backups, a cronjob can be set up on the server.

−	Video can be moved from media server to media server at any time, so additional media servers can be added when you are running low on disk space. Where the video resides physically is transparent from an end user perspective.
