presentation files. Specify how often you want a backup to occur.
•
Backup a maximum of this number of backups: Specify how many backup copies of a single presentation can
exist. Once this limit is reached, BrightAuthor will begin overwriting backup copies beginning with the oldest file.
Storage
Checking the
Limit storage space by function box allows you to divide the presentation storage device into different
segments. You can then allot maximum sizes to those segments to ensure that a certain type of data does not take up too
much space on the storage device.
Note that, if you select
Specify absolute size, it is possible to specify a combined set of segments that is larger or
smaller than the absolute size of your storage device. If you select
Specify percentages, you will need to ensure that the
percentages add up to 100% (which is equivalent to the absolute size of the storage device).
The segment types are specified as follows:
•
Published data: The maximum size allotted to all presentation and content files that are written to the storage
device during the publish process. This includes audio, video, images, text, and HTML content files.
•
Dynamic data: The maximum size of all dynamic content, including Dynamic Playlists and MRSS feeds. When this
segment runs out of space, dynamic content files will be deleted to create space, starting with the oldest files first.
