Storage (explained)

Under Storage, you can monitor and manage the databases for a device or a group of devices added to the same recording server.

Above the table, you can see the selected database and its status. In this example, the selected database is the default Local Default and the status is Recordings also located on other recording servers. The other server is the recording server in building A.

Possible statuses for selected database:

Information unavailable in failover mode

The system cannot collect status information about the database when the database is in failover mode.

Further down in the window, you can see the status of each database (OK, Offline or Old Storage), the location of each database and how much space each database uses.

If all servers are online, you can see the total spaced used for the entire storage in the Total used space field.

With the Delete All Recordings button, you can delete all recordings for the device or device group if you have added all devices in the group to the same server. Protected data is not deleted.
