Read-only can protect the safety of data, however, in many times, only read-only protection is not enough, because some programs are running in the read-only disk and the running process would create files or write data to files. The write operation will fail, which would lead to the abnormal running of these programs. Therefore, KernSafe provides a conception of virtual write, which means the program of read-only users allows the writing in read-only disks, but the writing results only take effect for the user himself.

Turning on Virtual Write feature in iStorage Server is very easy and convenient. After successfully creating a target drive, Right Click on the drive you want to turn on this feature and choose Properties.
