About the EncrypTight Workspace

The workspace directory contains directories for appliances, factory configurations, defaults, and policy templates. Data generated by ETPM is also stored in the workspace directory. Note that no ETPM data is saved until you add at least one PEP in the ETEMS Appliance Manager.

EncrypTight considers the most recently opened workspace to be the active one. The file name and path are displayed in the application’s title bar. New and changed appliance configurations are saved to the active workspace.

By default the configuration files are stored in <InstallDIR>\data, where InstallDIR is the top-level EncrypTight directory. You can store your workspace in the default directory or choose one of your own.
