You can place backup files in a directory on the network file server or on the student's testing computer. The following table outlines the pros and cons of each option; however, as a best practice, Pearson recommends using both location options - one for the primary save location and the other for the secondary save location. Use a Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) address to ensure that TestNav saves backup SRF and log files for all computers and devices. If you set a non-SFTP address as a secondary save location, TestNav saves backup SRFs and logs for students testing on ONLY browser-based TestNav and TestNav Desktop.
