You go through the interface and can select as many storage locations as it will allow.
To find, IIRC, search for the file extension    *.dvr-ms
In other words, they are (or could be) in a number of user selectable locations.

FWIW, I switched to a 500G HD with mutiple partitions and can currently
save 130 hrs depending on resolution. (IIRC I can choose from 4 or 5 sizes.)
