Recovery

Your Milestone Husky unit has a built-in recovery option, which resets your unit to the factory default state and lets you start over and reconfigure your unit from scratch.

Recovery will:

  • Make a new Windows installation
  • Run Husky Assistant to configure your unit
  • Help you install Milestone XProtect

All data on the Windows (C:) drive will be lost, and your XProtect system will not record any video during the recovery of your unit. You can save the Milestone XProtect VMS configuration before you start the recovery.

Data on the Data (D:) drive will not be deleted.

For detailed feature descriptions and procedures for configuration and maintenance, see the administrator manual for XProtect VMS.

To start the recovery process:

  1. Restart your unit.
  2. Press F11 during the boot process.

  3. Your unit boots into recovery mode. Follow the instructions to complete the process.
