How Configuration File Backups Are Managed

Asset management uses the following process to manage the configuration file backups:

1. When a file is initially configured for backup, the agent collects the contents of this file and saves it in the agent's working directory on the asset.
2. Every time the computer or user logs into the network, the agent checks the changes between the last saved file and current version of the file. As this check is performed locally on the asset, this is faster.
3. If there is a difference, the agent repeats Step 1.
