There are many reasons why CDR records are available in VFC without corresponding recording media. To distinguish between lost recordings due to genuine issues and calls that are expected to have no recordings, you can configure VFC to detect media loss due to errors, discard CDR-only records without media in certain situations, ignore CDR-only records in conversation exports, and present the affected recordings for quick and easy review.
