Configuration Encoder Archiver
When this happens, the archiver tracks the combined time and size of all open and closed files, compares the total to the configured Archive Duration and Archive Maximum File Size, and continues recording until the limits are reached. For example, if you configure the archiver for a two-hour duration, and there is a disruption that forces it to close one file and open another, the time in file1 plus the time in file2 will equal two hours regardless of how long the disruption lasted. When the archiver is configured with a duration and a file size set to 0 Maximum, the archiver limits are 4 GB or 12 hours, whichever comes first, no matter how many disruptions occur and how many files are created
