Where can I safely save documents if Deep Freeze is running on my computer?

Upon a restart, Deep Freeze returns your computer to the state it was in when it was last "frozen."  On most of our computers it mainly affects drive C: (which includes My Documents, Desktop, Downloads, etc...)

The following locations are safe to save in on a computer running Deep Freeze in our school district:

• Home directory (drive H:)
• The Shared Folders on the network (drive V:)
• Thawspace (drive Z:)
• Any removable storage location (such as a flash drive, an external hard drive, etc...)

Drive H: is located on a networked server and is backed up daily.

Drive V: is located on a networked server and is backed up daily.

Drive Z: is located on the local machine.  If your computer's hard drive experiences trouble, this could affect drive Z: thus causing you to lose important data.  Drive Z: is meant to be a location you can save to if your computer loses its network connection.  Then later, this data can be moved to a different location.

NOTE:  Many of our users do use Drive Z: as a regular place to save data.  Just remember that if something happens to your hard drive, this data could be affected.
