I am very new to Blue Iris and NVR's in general. I apologise if this type of question is posted elsewhere, please redirect me if it exists.
I am currently in process of building machines in a VE using a Core i7 4770K with 24GB RAM. I have ProxMox VE running bare metal with a home automation program and OpenMediaVault running in VM's.
I can set aside 4 vCPU's and about 12GB RAM (based on current usage) for Blue Iris and I will be looking at 4 to 6 4MP cameras.
I have a 2TB internal WD Purple drive that will be dedicated to recordings. I also have a 6TB external USB (3tbx4 mirrored) that I wish to utilise for backup/long term storage.
What I would like to acheive is the following:
I want the above to work pretty well automatically and seamlessly if possible so all I need to do is open the "app" or webpage to check footage if needed.
Firstly, I guess I need to ask is it doable?
Secondly, any guidance (or direction to existing documentation) would be appreciated.
Thanks.

What I would like to acheive is the following:
- 24/7 Low res (vga quality is okay) recording.
- Motion Detection events recorded at Hi res.
- Primary recording device is the 2TB Purple, hoping to be able to hold at least 7 days worth on this.
- Backup storage - USB device, hoping to put all data older than 7 plus days out to this.
