it is stored in the name of the directory where the recording is stored.

from MANUAL:
| Lifetime:  The number of days (0..99) a recording made through this timer is
|            guaranteed to remain on disk before it is automatically removed
|            to free up space for a new recording. Note that setting this
|            parameter to very high values for all recordings may soon fill up
|            the entire disk and cause new recordings to fail due to low disk
|            space. The special value 99 means that this recording will live
|            "forever", and a value of 0 means that this recording can be
|            deleted any time if a recording with a higher priority needs disk
|            space.



STE> Furthermore, if there is a recording without an
STE> entry in the timer list,

once the recording is done, it is not related to any timer.
