Temp Files
The Agent Operation settings use the Temp File Location if it has an assigned value.
The file location must have a Windows file path and cannot be a mapped network drive.
Set up Temp File options for clean-up either:
- To begin shredding temp files immediately or delay until the scan is complete.
- To asynchronously shred temp files, or shred in sync with the scan.
When scanning, compressed files can be downloaded to the Temp File.
- To save processing time, the compressed file is decompressed one file at a time and the same set of decompressed files are used for each discovered location.
- The file will not be compressed or decompressed again.
- The Temp File is shredded intermittently to limit space usage and processing time.
