What is a Volume? Volume is the unit used by the EEDVR DB system. 1 volume is equivalent to 64MB of physical HD space. All image
data is recorded in volume units. When assi
gned 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.
