Each hour, the server scans all enabled recording volumes in order to index all existing video recordings, and to determine the oldest video to be deleted in order to make space for new recordings.
This task can be time consuming, sometimes to the point that the scan may not actually complete within an hour. In the case of Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, or older, this may partly be due to 8.3 (short) filename support remaining in effect on all enabled recording volumes.
