Data Igloo Service

The Data Igloo Service helps you map your data to different folders or drives. This service is especially useful if you are using Deep Freeze on your computer, ensuring that folders, user profiles, and registry key changes are retained across reboots.

To add Data Igloo to the Policy, go to Add Policy > Deep Freeze Windows > Data Igloo > select Enable (install and inherit settings from Faronics Default policy) or Enable (Install and use below settings). Selecting this option installs Data Igloo on all computers using this Policy.

Selecting Enable (install and inherit settings from Faronics Default policy) or Enable (Install and use below settings) installs Data Igloo on the computers whenever the computers check-in. The computers check-in based on the heartbeat specified in Cloud Agent Settings.

• Enable (install and inherit settings from Faronics Default policy) – installs the service and inherits settings from the Faronics Default policy. Selecting this option saves time in configuring all the policy settings. Selecting this option makes the settings for the current policy read-only.

• Enable (Install and use below settings) – installs the service and uses custom settings. Selecting this option will allow you to customize the settings for this service in the current policy.

• Disable will not install the service or will uninstall the service from the computers whenever the computers check-in.

You can configure settings for the Data Igloo Service through various tabs. The configuration settings for Data Igloo through various tabs are explained further in this chapter.
