You can place backup SRFs 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.
Warningnote

You must use a Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) address to ensure that TestNav saves backup SRF files for all computers and devices. If you set a non-SFTP address as a secondary save location, TestNav saves backup SRFs for only those students testing on browser-based TestNav and TestNav Desktop. SFTP configuration is not supported by all assessment management systems. Consult your assessment management system user guide to determine whether the SFTP option is available.
