	#Modification#
	- Reduction of unexpected multiple images.
	- Calculation load reduction of Recording Capacity Limit
	  when having unexpected files in Destination Folder.
	- If the system clock was set back before the start recording time
	  or more than several seconds during the recording period by NTP or
	  manually, recorded file will be divided.
	  If the adjusted period was short, it records continuously into
	  one file, but sometimes part of the file may not be played
	  during playback.
	- Improved timing judgment of backup schedule.
	#Restriction#
	- Backup Folder should be on different drive from Destination Folder.

	  during backup process is running.
	#Notes#

	  high CPU load and excessive transfer to the storage device.
	  Using RAID or storage device's backup feature is recommended for
