2. General Concept – Save It! “Event” directory on LAN, with each storm episode given a name per format. Storage on LAN allows access by everyone, and files are backed-up weekly by ETs. “Event” directory on LAN, with each storm episode given a name per format.

6. Archive Space Issues… Space on the AX Server… - 5 to maybe 7 days - expand to 30, or 60 days ? - what could a new AX Server be ?? Space on the WES … - 20 to 50 gb, maybe 10 to 20 cases - how about addn 500 to 2000 gb drives ? Space on the LAN… - 20 to 40 gb, maybe 100 to 200 events - issue of space and team self-discipline
