Thintech Profile Management Method
Take growing FSLogix containers out of your backups.
With TPMM, you back up user files and essential settings separately. Once you’ve tested that users can recover their files and settings in a fresh FSLogix container, you can stop backing up the whole container.
TPMM Pro is included with Thintech support.
Every client under Thintech support gets TPMM Pro at no additional cost. Already a client? Ask your usual Thintech support contact about using it in your environment.
How TPMM works
What do you need to back up?
A folder of client documents needs a backup. An application cache can be built again. Thintech reviews your Citrix applications with you to identify everything a user needs to get back to work if a profile is lost.
Back up user files on your file service
Redirect folders such as Documents and Desktop to managed storage and include that storage in your backups. Users still find their work in the same place when they sign in.
Protect the settings your users need
TPMM captures selected Windows and application settings in small Optimised Profile State (OPS) files in each user’s home folder. Back up those folders so you can restore preferences alongside user files.
Test recovery with a fresh container
Restore a test user’s files and OPS files from backup. Sign in with a fresh FSLogix container, open the applications they use and check their documents and preferences. Once that works for the user groups and applications you support, you can exclude their containers from routine backups.
Desktop migration in practice
A new desktop with familiar settings.
When a large legal firm moved staff to new Windows virtual desktops, Thintech used TPMM to capture their existing settings. Staff found those settings in place the first time they signed in to the new desktop.
