 ====== Disabling Journal And Volume History Entries ======
-When Volume are added, moved or altered by default TapeTrack adds entries to the journal database and historical records for that volume.
+When Volumes are added, moved or altered, by default TapeTrack adds entries to the Journal and History databases.
-If moves are required, for example moving a Volume from one location to another within your racking, journal records would cause the client to be charged for the move that is not billable.  Temporarily turning off the journal and/or historical records can bypass this issue.
+If you wish to change this behavior you can pass arguments to the TapeTrack Server to completely disable this logging, or selectively disable this logging for specific Customers.

-<note warning>We strongly recommend against ever using this feature to do anything other than disabling the journal because you don't use it.   If you do use this function, it is important to disable it as soon as possible</note>
+<note warning>
+We strongly recommend against ever using this feature unless you:
+  * do not use the Journal facilities and want to save overhead and disk space, or
+  * have a very specific need to perform operations without Volume History being created.
+ **We strongly recommend that you never do this.**
+----
+**When this feature is used a record will be written to the Journal to record that it has been used.**</note>
