OnBase Disk Groups provide long term storage for media files. Media files may be measured in gigabyte sizes. As the stream bit rate increases, the physical storage requirements also increase. For example, board and council meetings can run up to 8 or more hours, with file sizes ranging from 500MB to between 1 - 10 Gigabytes.
If your OnBase database was installed and configured with a version of OnBase prior to version 13, you may not have support for storing files larger than 2GB. With version 13, OnBase implemented support of 64-bit database integer values for tracking of file sizes greater than 2GB. Please contact your first line of support to determine if your OnBase database will support large file storage.
