Anon-RoamingUserProfilerequiresapproximatelythreetimesasmuchdiskspaceasa
localRoamingUserProfile.Dragon periodicallycreatesabackupcopyofanon-Roaming
UserProfileandstoresthecopyonthelocalcomputer.Ontheotherhand,aRoamingUser
ProfileisstoredinanetworkstoragelocationandDragondoesnotcreateabackupcopyof
aRoamingUserProfile.
AnadministratorshouldcreatebackupcopiesofallRoamingUserProfilesonaregular
basis.
How Dragon Synchronizes Master and Local Roaming
User Profiles
Whenanend-userthatusesaRoamingUserProfileexitsDragon,switchesUserProfiles,
closesaUserProfile,orsavesaUserProfile,Dragon saveschangestotheLocalRoaming
UserProfileandthensynchronizesthesechangeswiththeMasterRoamingUserProfiles
onthenetwork.
Inanetworkedsituation,thisoccursatthetimeoneoftheseoperationsisperformed.
Whenanend-userdictatesusingacomputernotcurrentlyconnectedtoanetwork,all
changesaresavedtotheLocalRoamingUserProfile;synchronizationoccurswhenthe
end-userreattachesthecomputertothenetworkcontainingtheMasterRoamingUser
ProfileandopensthatUserProfileagain.
Formoreinformationonwhatoptionsaffectwhatdatagetssynchronizedbetweenthe
MasterandLocalRoamingUserProfile,seeSetting/selectingRoamingUserProfile
options.
Note: Duringsynchronization,changestotheMasterRoamingUserProfileoverwriteany
changesmadetoaLocalRoamingUserProfilethatanend-userhasbeenusingfor
dictatingandcorrectingdictationwhilenotonthenetwork.
What happens during synchronization
ThefollowingchangestakeplacewhenLocalandMasterRoamingUserProfilesare
synchronized:
n CombineswordsaddedtotheLocalRoamingUserProfileduringadictationsession
withtheMasterRoamingUserProfilevocabulary,
n RemoveswordsdeletedfromtheLocalRoamingUserProfilefromtheMaster
RoamingUserProfilevocabulary.
n Copiesacousticdata(fromfileswitha.DRAor.NWVextension)fromtheLocal
RoamingUserProfileandaddsthemtotheMasterRoamingUserProfilewherethe
databecomeavailabletotheAcousticOptimizer(Notethat.DRAfilessaved
