Re: [IRCA] Cloud storage of SDR recordings

[Mark Pettifor <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My problem is I get "greedy" whenever some great conditions are present, 
and I'll make an overnight recording, instead of just TOH / BOH, and 
then I get "lazy" and don't review them right away. After a while of 
doing that, even 4TB starts filling up quick!

I guess too it depends on the software used for recording, and the 
bandwidth recorded. I have an ELAD FDM-S2, and I've found that 
SDR-Console makes the smallest data files, so I use that more often than 
the software that comes with the ELAD.

I do agree with Russ that having more than one backup is a good idea. 
(That's a good idea no matter what the application!)

As an aside, here's what I've noticed in the past for recording using 
different software (bandwidth = 1536 kHz or thereabouts, for the entire 
MW band):

HDSDR: 41.2 GB / hr
ELAD FDM-SW2: 30.7 GB / hr
SDR-Console: 22.1 GB /hr

I also like using SDR-Console for recording, not just because the data 
files are smaller, but also because the generated data files can be read 
by all three of the other programs. If I use FDM-SW2, it can only be 
played back in FDM-SW2, and not the other two. Not a big deal, really, 
unless I want to share data files with someone.
