Good afternoon,

This is a very good question, regarding power outages to the DVR Unit, bad wheater, vandalism, as well as how to perform backup recordings.

If the DVR unit loses power it will stop working but it will return to its regular operation if the power comes back on, a possible solution is to have the DVR connected to a (UPS) Battery Backup unit .
if one camera is damaged due to vandalism and or weather related due to humidity except (lighting strike). The DVR will still work to record.
To perform a backup from the recordings.  log on to your DVR unit next 
open the main menu at the bottom of the live view screen with the 4 cameras showing. Once you have opened the main menu, click on the "Record Tab" at the top, perform your desired  search based on channel, date , and time. and then click on quick backup. 
for this step, you will need to connect an external hard drive bigger than 1 TB for better results. 
Thank you.​
