Is LTTV having problems with those 50GB of data ?

Flight recorder mode:

You can configure tracing in flight recorder mode. The trace session
will only write events into a trace buffer in memory, without saving the
trace to disk. So the oldest events will be constantly overwritten.

If you know a particular behavior or problem in your application you are
looking for (a trigger), then you can keep flight recorder tracing
active for the whole 2 hours, but only save snapshots when the situation
you are looking for happens.
