WSC will display the following storage locations.

- Local (dark green)—Camera data is on the local drive but not replicated to the cloud.
- Local - Replicated (green)—Camera data is on the local drive AND replicated to the cloud.
- Reclaimed - Cloud (blue)—Camera data is in the cloud and seamlessly accessible.

## Automatic Timeline Restore

Be sure to note the following:

- Local - Replicated (green)—Camera data is always available for playback.
- Reclaimed - Cloud (blue)—Camera data will be automatically retrieved when selected or played on the timeline, unless Automatic Timeline Restore is disabled. In this case, camera data will not be automatically restored from the cloud and WSC will display a “Recording Nearline” frame.
