Issue/Introduction

How to enable or disable the Desktop User Data Folder (DUDF) in Desktop Laptop Option (DLO). The Desktop User Data Folder (DUDF) temporarily holds the backup sets and transfers them to a defined Network User Data Folder (NUDF) when the computer is connected to the network. The DUDF provides protection and restore capabilities, even when the computer is disconnected from the network. Note - It is not possible to disable the Desktop User Data folder (DUDF) if the Profile has been Enabled for use with Dedupe (see the screenshot below). Once the 'Enable Dedupe' option has been selected, the 'Enable desktop user data folder' option is automatically selected and greyed out, preventing changes, as using Dedupe requires that DUDF for processing on client machines.
