Hello,
my BI 5.7.9.12 install has been causing overallocated space for a week! Furthermore, this cause the PC to crash. Everything has run fine for many moths, and now it is the third time I have had to delete files manually, repair db, and so on! Does anyone know how can I debug/fix this issue?
Thanks

Please post screenshots from the BI server's console (the graph symbol at upper left, then "clip storage" tab) and BI "settings" > "clips and archiving."

Are you using ONE drive ( C: ) for Windows, the Blue Iris program and New, Stored and Alerts?

i think the first one is altready attached, clip and archiving are here.

In C there are new, alert, stored then the older moved to aux1

I suggest you follow @SouthernYankee 's method of allocation in his "Standard Allocation Post."

FWIW, having BI write video clips to the same drive it executes from ( C: ) and also moving clips from is asking for problems, at the very least performance-wise.

Lastly, he says " Never allocate over 90% of the total disk drive to BI. Leave at least 50GB free."
Almost 94% of your C: drive is allocated to Blue Iris, currently only 14GB of it is free.

this is how mine is setup.....
I don't save or move files once they are written to the drive.
they just get overwritten by Windows/BI on my X:\ Drive.

Have a look on your C drive and check how big each of the folders is/are? Do the folder sizes add up to what BI is reporting?
