What happens when the disk fills up?

I've installed dedicated time lapse recorders in the past and usually there is an option to create a circular buffer so you can walk away from the system and forget about it. On the old VHS style it was an automatic rewind and start recording on the same tape again. I read the manual, but I find no mention of how ZM handles disk usage.

I apologize in advance if I missed the description in the manual.

Thanks.

The is a filter you can apply to control disk space limits etc. If you do a search on the forums for PurgeWhenFull you should find one or more references to it.
