I've been using BI for about 6 months now and know it well enough to modify archive settings and such. Unfortunately what just happened today may motivate me to delete BI forever...unless someone from this forum can come to my rescue. I have 4 cameras that were scheduled to record different locations during our backyard wedding on Sep 02, and a day later I confirmed the footage was there. Auto-delete was set to 60 days, and for a few months I've had access to files that were as old as 60 days...so everything was working, right?
As of right now, I have no files left for Sep 02 and Sep 03 (only 1 exception and the video was of course not important). I have searched all folders (new, backup, stored) and somehow all other files were deleted! How does this happen?...and can anyone help me re-store these files?
The files were not in the obvious places such as Recycle Bin or BI Backup. Somehow, magically I have 2 days of nearly no activity despite motion sensors causing recordings on avg every other hour or so. On my wedding day I changed the record setting from "when triggered" to "continuous". I did notice there was a limit set to the file size on recordings, but then why did they exist initially? Not to mention, why are other smaller files also gone?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! My wedding footage is on the chopping block!
