Every call passed through SippyPBX is recorded to the internal hard drive as a sound file. You can then listen to the recordings and browse the call records online.  But even if the storage capacity of SippyPBX is big, still it is limited. So the solution is to periodically move the old records to external media,  such as CD-ROM or DVD-ROM and free up the space for recording new calls. 

Each backup set is assigned its own unique ID. So if you can still listen to the call which was made several months ago and is not available on the SippyPBX internal storage anymore you will be prompted to insert the CD or DVD with the required ID into the drive,  and SippyPBX will retrieve the necessary file automatically.
