What is the recommended Symform configuration?
There are a lot of options, but here’s a typical scenario: • Designate one computer to be the Symform node. Download the Symform software to this node. • Point Symform at the folder(s) that hold your local backup files. The folder(s) can be anywhere on the LAN. Symform just needs a Windows UNC (universal naming convention) path to locate them. • Designate a “contribution folder” on a drive somewhere on the LAN. This could be an internal disk, a NAS drive, USB drive, etc. • Open a port (on your firewall) for this node so that Symform can identify where to place encrypted fragments from other nodes.
