Shadow data can be stored in the server’s database or it can be stored in files on the disk. To store it in the database, select the Store shadow files in the database check box.

If storing shadow data in the database on the Microsoft SQL Server, it is advisable to substantially increase the maximum file size parameter for the transaction log of the database. Otherwise, SQL Server may fail to handle large amounts of data in one transaction. For best results, use a 64-bit SQL Server edition, and increase the amount of memory available to SQL Server. On a 32-bit computer, enable AWE (Address Windowing Extensions). For instructions, see Microsoft’s article at technet.microsoft.com/library/ms190673(v=sql.90).aspx.

To store data on the disk, clear the Store shadow files in the database check box. In this case only links to the binary data and some additional information are stored in the server’s database.

When stored on the disk, data files are located by the path specified in the Store path parameter. To choose the folder where files should be stored, you can use the Browse button.

You can also specify the network shared resource (e.g. \\server\dlstore) that will be used as storage. Make sure that the user account used to run the DeviceLock Enterprise Server service has full access to this network resource.
