Manage Unit-Specific Files in an Intermediate File Format

1

Select a file or folder using the SV-Manager.

•

Multiple unit-specified files or a single folder can be selected.

•

The top folder and Library can also be selected.

2

Drag and drop onto the Windows Desktop or folder.

•

The application can also be executed from [File] 

J

 [BVD Export] in the Menu. Select the 

BVD export location and click [OK] when the [BVD Export] dialog appears.

¨

The [BVD Export] dialog displays.

•

Click [Cancel] to cancel.

¨

This process creates BVD files 

from the selected files and folders.

•

Multiple BVD files are created when multiple unit-specific files are selected.

•

When a folder is selected, the hierarchical structure under the folder is compressed while 
maintaining its structure and a single BVD file is created with the selected folder name.

Unit-specific files can be operated and managed only using SV-Manager. To move 
or backup unit-specific files to another PC, files need to be converted to a file format 
that Windows file operation can move and copy. BVD Export and BVD Import are 
functions for this purpose. BVD Export writes BVD files with a bvd extension.

The BVD file is called an intermediate file format as the file only targets Windows file 
operation. The contents cannot be browsed by an application software other than 
SV-Manager.

BVD files created by BVD Export can be restored to unit-specific files using BVD 
Import. 

Writing Data in an Intermediate File Format

Unit-specific files in a closed Security folder cannot be exported to BVD files. This 
process creates a BVD file that includes an empty Security folder.
