Setting up a macro for automatic copying of protected records

You have to create and set up a cyclical macro (see General information about macros) as follows:

1. First action in the macro must be the Awaiting (1).
   
2. The timeout delay value sets the time interval for checking archive for protected records (2).
3. The second action in the macro must be checking archive for protected records (3). Do the following:
   1. Select a camera or a group of cameras the archive of which must be checked for protected records (4).
   2. If you select a particular camera, specify the archive to be checked (5). If a group of cameras was selected in the previous step, only default archive will be checked for each of them (see Configuring the default archive). 
   3. Specify the depth of the check in HH:MM:SS format (6). The time interval between checks is calculated as follows: [starting time of the earliest recording in archive, starting time of the earliest recording in archive + depth of the check].
   4. Add data replication as a conditional action upon discovery of protected records within the scanning interval (7, see Start replication). 
   5. Select the Replication time for a time interval (8). The replication duration defines the time interval from which protected records have to be copied to another archive. All protected intervals starting within the [starting time of the earliest recording in archive; starting time of the earliest recording in archive + replication duration] range will be copied to archive for replication. Normally, the replication duration has to be equal to the depth of the check defined in step 3c. 

The screenshot shows settings that make the system scan once in a minute (2) for protected records in Camera 4's (4) archive AliceBlue (5) within the [starting time of the earliest recording in archive + 10 minutes] time interval (6). If this interval contains protected records, the replication will be launched to copy all protected records falling into [starting time of the earliest recording in archive; starting time of the earliest recording in archive + 10 minutes] (8) interval to archive specified for replication.
