Writable Volume Backups

Regular backups

Toggle the slider to enable or disable regular backups for Writable Volumes. If enabled, Writable Volumes are backed up on a regular basis based on the recurrent interval. For example, if the recurrent interval is set to 7 days, a Writable Volume will be backed up if 7 days have elapsed since the last back up. Back up is only performed for Writable Volumes that have been used at least once since the last backup.

Writable Volume Backups

Advanced Settings

Disable Volume Cache

Toggle the slider to enable or disable volume cache. App Volumes caches AppStack or application objects to improve performance. However, if you experience increased memory usage, consider disabling volume caching.

Advanced Settings

Disable Token AD query

Toggle the slider to enable or disable token AD query. App Volumes queries for Active Directory group membership using cached object SIDs. Previous versions of App Volumes performed group membership queries against Active Directory domains directly and recursively. Disable token AD query to revert to the previous implementation.
