Strategy #2: Allow Configurations to be Stored Locally on the Thin Client The second approach for achieving persistence is to allocate a specific area of the local DOM for reading and writing system settings and connections. DeTOS allows for even greater flexibility by offering two variations of this strategy:  Enable Local Storage-While running in this mode, DeTOS will write to the local DOM each and every time configurations are added, deleted or modified under the Control Panel.  Enable Snapshot Storage-When this mode is selected, DeTOS allows writes to the local DOM, but in a more finely controlled manner. An administrator can configure the settings and then store the current configurations to the DOM by clicking Take Snapshot. The only settings and connections that will persist across reboots are the ones captured during the snapshot. The terminal essentially falls back into a nonpersistent operating mode after the snapshot and discards any new configurations from here on out - until the administrator clicks Take Snapshot again, and a new snapshot is used as the primary configuration. In some ways, this mode can be thought of as a hybrid of the standard Enable Local Storage and No Local Storage modes. Case Examples The Local Storage section of the Control Panel allows you to use three methods for local storage:  No Local Storage  Enable Local Storage  Enable Snapshot Storage These case examples are provided below to help you decide which of these three options will work best for you. 20 | Persistence
