Alert folder issue

[Jason R]

I installed a second drive in my BlueIris server, and switched my "Alerts" folder to point at the new drive under Options/Clips and Archiving.

When I go to Status/Clip storage, it correctly shows New,Stored on the E: drive and Alerts on the new F: drive. However, the F drive is empty; no new files are being saved there. I'm not sure where the clips are being stored, but its certainly not the new drive.

Any thoughts?

My understanding is that the only thing that goes to the Alerts folder is the hi-res images generated if that option is selected on the Camera Properties Record tab. Separate Alert videos are not created, rather they are stored in the database as index flags to the Clip video files.

I think this is right, it seems like new->stored is the only two places movie files are being stored.
