You can place backup SRFs in a directory on the network file server, on the student's testing computer, or on a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) site. The following table outlines the pros and cons of each option; however, as a best practice, Pearson recommends using two options - one for a primary save location (browser-based and TestNav Desktop) and the other for the secondary save location. 
 InfoNote that the primary save location for Android devices, Chromebooks, and iPads is on each specific device and cannot be configured.
