What is a Volume?
Volume is the unit used by the DiViS DB system. 1 volume is equivalent to
64MB
of physical HD space. All image data
is recorded in volume units. When assigned Volumes are full, the program will continue recording by overwriting volumes that contain the
oldest previously recorded data. It is recommended that important data be backed up prior to the start of the overwriting process.
