# What does the Daily storage snapshots row in Services mean?

It's the once-a-day record of how much space your drives are using, which feeds Storage Studio's charts. It is not a backup and doesn't copy any files.

Green means a record was taken within the last 36 hours. Yellow means the daily records have paused; the self-healing monitor checks on this and normally gets them going again by itself. Storage Studio keeps about a year of these daily records.
