1.1.2 Data Safeguards and Data Recovery
With Novell iFolder, data stored on the server can be easily safeguarded from system crashes and
disasters that can result in data loss. When a user saves a file locally, the iFolder client can
automatically update the data on the iFolder server, where it immediately becomes available for an
organization’s regular network backup operations. iFolder makes it easier for IT managers to ensure
that all of an organization’s critical data is protected.
1.1.3 Reliable Data Security
With Novell iFolder, LDAP-based authentication for access to stored data helps prevent
unauthorized network access.
