Enlarging the storage space (adding volumes)
You can add another volume to MaxDB if the MultimediaDatabase requires more
space, e.g. if you wish to store event data for a longer period of time. The default
MaxDB size is 4 GB.
This enlargement of storage space does not affect the MultimediaDatabase.

enlargement of the MultimediaDatabase (minimum: 512 MB, maximum:
4000 MB).

You will obtain an estimated duration (in days) about how long the storage space of
the MaxDB will last at the current alarm rate by clicking on
