can be redirected. It is even possible to enable a write support so that for the remote machine it is
possible to write data to your local disc.
Figure 5-3 Options of Drive Redirection
Drive Redirection works on a level below the operating system. That means that neither the local
nor the remote operating system is aware that the drive is currently redirected. This may lead to
inconsistent data as soon as one of the operating systems (either from the local machine, or from
the remote host) is writing data on the device. If write support is enabled the remote computer
might damage the data and the file system on the redirected device. On the other hand, if the
local operating system writes data to the redirected device the drive cache of the operating
system of the remote host might contain older data. This may confuse the remote host’s operating
system. We recommend you use the Drive Redirection with care, especially the write support.
