The (at least original) meaning is to prevent a recording with the Primary Device, in a multi card setup, with a too low priority. At least when i proposed that option many years ago a recording on the primary Device effectively prevented live-viewing, even in a multi-card setup. So with this option it could be made sure that a low priority recording would be recorded with a secondary card, or not at all. AFAICT that isn't a problem anymore, because of Transfer Mode. But i personally only have multiple single-card systems so i can't check it. (And i haven't looked anything "live" for years) So my guess would be that this option can be erased. Bis denn -- Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.
