Using FileStore to save disk space in system drive (C:
Drive)
Starting DRM 1.6, the configurable FileStore feature helps the user to save disk space on the system hard
disk. The default file location for the FileStore is C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Local
\RepositoryManager\FileStore. However, the FileStore can be moved to a different location after DRM is
installed on the system.
NOTE:
• FileStore cleanup — FileStore cleanup helps you to remove any unused cached files from
FileStore location.
• You are restricted from performing any other operations while moving the FileStore from its
original location.
• Stop any running jobs before initiating the FileStore movement. You can restart the stopped jobs
once the FileStore is moved successfully. DRM starts communicating with the required files from
the new location to resume the stopped jobs.
• Moving the FileStore folder from its default location permanently deletes the folder and its
contents. However, the data of the default FileStore folder is saved in the new location.
• DRM cannot recover deleted files and folders.
Moving the FileStore folder from the default location to another location in the same drive, another drive,
or another computer on the network is recommended. The Use Default button moves back the FileStore
folder to the default location. For more information on Using FileStore, see Dell Repository Manager Data
Center User’s Guide.
