Storage Linking establishes the correspondence between the storage profiles of the linked primary and secondary recorders. For example, a device can be recorded for X number of days on a primary recorder and Y number of days on the linked secondary recorder. When devices are added to primary recorders and a specific storage profile is used on the primary recorder, RMF SmartSync adds them to the secondary recorder using a storage profile on the secondary established by the correspondence set up in this block.
Note: If storage profile linking is not configured, then the default storage profile on the secondary server will be used during device addition and synchronization between servers.
