What is a Journal Volume?
A Journal Volume is an “entry database” for The Journal. A Journal Volume can contain one or more user logins and all of their categories and entries.
Journal Volumes can be placed on any available hard drive, internal or external or network attached, or even removable thumb drives. Each Journal Volume must have a unique name.
Most users of The Journal will only need a single Journal Volume.

The maximum size of a Journal Volume is 30 TB (terabytes) on Windows.
