Deep Freeze

Faronics Deep Freeze Enterprise and Deep Freeze for Mac create a base image that can be used to restore the system.  Any changes to the computer during subsequent use will be removed upon reboot, reinstating the original system snapshot that Deep Freeze created.

Saving Files

Upon a restart, Deep Freeze returns your computer to the state it was in when it was last “frozen.”  On most of our computers it mainly affects drive C: (which includes My Documents, Desktop, Downloads, etc…). The following locations are safe to save in on a computer running Deep Freeze:

• Home directory (U: drive)
• Departmental / Shared (T: drive)
• OneDrive (Office 365)
