Hi all, I was taking a look to my nvr (which has worked for about 5 months) storage but i noticed that older record dates only from the 10 of this month.
I have 2 4tb hdd and 7 (hdw4431m) cameras so it's impossible that it can record only 2 weeks, even because last time i checked it had at least 2 months of recording.
What could have happened?

Stupid question. When the #2 hdd is working is it possible to playback the #1 hdd recordings?

Check your settings in Storage -> Basic. You might have your auto delete setting to something like 14 days.

It was like this, so it isn't the problem. Few weeks ago i had at least 2 months recording in storage...

Hmmm, check the tabs on Storage -> Advanced and make sure both drives are in one HDD group and that on subsequent tabs, everything is recording to that group.

Sorry, I misunderstood. Have you checked your log file for an accidental Format? Maybe it got clicked and wiped out some of your older recordings?

The only strange item in the log is this one:

I have a similar event from this morning:

Change Working HDD: /dev/sdb(3)-->/dev/sdb(0) reas

I think it's normal, but not 100% sure. I'm assuming one drive filled up and switched recording to the other? Sorry I don't have any more info.

No, sorry, it can't be because i have the recordings after that date. It seems that after it switched to hdd #2 it isn't able to read the recordings in the hdd #1
ok, than it could be a problem with hdd #2
