28| Using Deep Freeze Configuration Administrator ThawSpace Deep Freeze Enterprise User Guide ThawSpace is a virtual partition that can be used to store programs, save files, or make permanent changes. All files stored in the ThawSpace are retained after a restart, even if the computer is Frozen. A ThawSpace can be created on a drive that is configured to be Frozen or Thawed. To create a single ThawSpace or multiple ThawSpaces using the Configuration Administrator, complete the following steps: 1. Select the Drive Letter. The default letter is T:. However, it can be changed to any available letter. The next available letter is automatically used if the selected drive letter already exists on a computer when Deep Freeze is installed. — When a Drive Letter is selected from the drop-down and used to create a ThawSpace, it is removed from the drop-down. — When a ThawSpace is removed, the corresponding Drive Letter is added back to the drop-down. — The Drive Letter cannot be same as the Host Drive. 2. Enter the Size. This is the size of the ThawSpace. The maximum size is 1024 GB and the minimum size is 16MB. — If the computer does not have enough free space to accommodate the selected ThawSpace size, the size of the ThawSpace is adjusted downward to ensure proper operation of the computer. — If you select the Size less than 16MB, the ThawSpace is set to 16MB. — If you select the Size more than 1024GB (1TB), the ThawSpace is set to 1024GB (1TB).
Drives Tab| 29 3. Select the ThawSpace storage unit in MB or GB. 4. Select the Host Drive. — The Host Drive is the drive where the ThawSpace is created. — The storage required for the ThawSpace is used from the total storage available on the Host Drive. 5. Select Visible or Hidden from the Visibility drop-down. — If you select Visible, the drive will be visible in Windows Explorer. — If you select Hidden, the drive will not be visible in Windows Explorer. — However, the hidden drive can be accessed by typing the drive letter in Start>Run. 6. Click Add to add the ThawSpace. Removing a ThawSpace To remove a ThawSpace, select the ThawSpace and click Remove. The ThawSpace is removed and the drive letter is now added back to the Drive Letter drop-down. Click Remove All to remove all the ThawSpaces. Example Existing ThawSpace In the above screen, a ThawSpace of 16 MB is created on the Host Drive C: and the ThawSpace is designated with the drive letter T:. The ThawSpace T: is set to Visible and can be accessed via the Windows Explorer. The Retain existing Thawspace check box is selected by default to prevent ThawSpaces created during previous installations from being deleted. A dialog is always displayed asking if the ThawSpace should be retained or deleted during an Attended Uninstall, regardless of whether Retain existing ThawSpace has been selected. This option is not displayed if the uninstall is performed through the Enterprise Console. Always Thaw External Hard Drives Before removing a ThawSpace, remove any profile redirections or Symbolic Links. Removing a ThawSpace will also remove the data stored in it. A ThawSpace is not protected by Deep Freeze. Deploy standard data protection options such as, Anti-Virus and backup procedures. It is recommended to assign Drive Letters towards the end of the alphabet (X, Y, Z) in order to avoid automatic reassignment when a removable drive is unplugged. The Always Thaw External Hard Drives pane has two check boxes, USB and IEEE 1394 (FireWire) and both check boxes are selected by default. This ensures that the USB or IEEE 1394 (FireWire) hard drives are always Thawed. If the USB and/or IEEE 1394 (FireWire) external hard drives check boxes are cleared, the drive is Frozen or Thawed according to the letter each drive mounts to in the Frozen Drives section.
