zmaudit removing currently open recordings

Good afternoon, Small issue, maybe trivial. I feel like zmaudit would detect if a file is open and is the currently recorded file and not delete it. My AUDIT_MIN_AGE=1 But i feel like zmaudit would detect that it is the currently recording file and this would override it. I cast my doubts because i ...

Re: FFMPEG_EXECUTABLE-NOTFOUND

Thank you for the speedy reply.

I just ended up downgrading back to 1.36.14 and everything went back to normal.

I might create another VM to test new releases prior to upgrading the main one.

Re: full backup

Thats a brilliant idea. I run mine in a VM so i think i will do the same. Thank you for the ideas and wonderful advice which will put my mind at ease, now i can implement an automated backup and also a test environment.

Marking this as solved.

Re: full backup

Thank you so much for your reply.

Just did a quick google for events and it just looks like a space thing and easy enough to configure should i wish to change event storage location.. Im thinking i could just use LuckyBackup and run it nightly to keep a couple of snapshots on a dedicated HDD.
