Data Object Description

With View Composer, you can configure OS data and user information on separate disks in linked-clone machines. View Composer preserves the user information on the persistent disk when the OS data is updated, refreshed, or rebalanced. A View Composer persistent disk contains user settings and other user-generated data.
