Data Settings

Desktop Policy and Migration > Data Settings

  • This page only displays if Desktop Migration is installed.

The Data Settings page specifies the directory a machine ID uses to store settings backups and the number of settings backups that can be stored. Applies only to individual user settings using Backup, Restore and Migrate. Policies and desktop standard user settings are stored on the KServer. A machine must have the Desktop Migration client installed using Install/Remove to display on this page.

Mapped drive letters are not supported. The path must be a full UNC path. If a UNC path is specified, a credential must be defined using Agent > Set Credential that provides access to this UNC path. In general, use domain administrator credentials when managing machines. Without the credential, the machine will not have access to the data settings directory and the backup will fail.
