Enabling Storage Extension With Wasabi Surveillance Cloud

When Storage Extension is disabled (default), WSC will keep ALL camera data on your local drive. If Disaster Recovery is enabled, you will have two copies of your data.

If your goal is to extend the total retention period beyond the capacity of your local drive, you should first enable Storage Extension.

Once enabled, you can choose to reclaim space By Age or By Size.

Setting By Age will dictate how long a file will stay local before it is reclaimed (such as free space). 

Setting By Size will dictate how full your drive can get before older files start being reclaimed. For example, if you set the By Age to 3 days, WSC will free space on the source by removing any file that has not been accessed for 3 days. If your local drive is not large enough to keep the amount of data you specify, WSC makes sure it never exceeds 95% capacity. 

Click Apply All and then Resume to set WSC to Operational mode.
