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.
