wondering on how to have blue iris save all clips for a month on a pc with 2tb hard drive running 3 cams at 25fps at 4mp. Running continuously recording. Not sure if it possible, possibly convert files to a zip folder? And wondering where you would look for them in the blue iris folder? Stored? New?

The video files are all ready compressed. Zip the file will do almost nothing. Get a 4tb purple we. Set the frame rate to 15 fps with and Iframe of 15. That will get you a month of recording.
Actually for 3 cameras at 15 fps should fit on 2tb, with nothing g else.

What is your hardware configuration. How big is each of the drives.
Set bi to record all files to the NEW folder. Set the NEW folder size to 95% of the total of free disk space. Never allocate 100% of the space.
Bi manages space and will delete files as spaces is required. Set bi to delete on space not time.

Have you tried lowering your FPS? Seems like most folks here run 15 FPS on most cameras. That'll increase your disk retention.
