About data layers

Managing virtual applications

See "About software virtualization"
(Windows only)
A data layer stores data that would otherwise be written to an application layer
or the base file system. You can use a data layer to prevent the loss of data that a
virtual application creates or modifies. You can use one or more data layers on a
computer.
See "About preventing the loss of virtual application data"
You can create data layers in either of the following products:
Virtual Package Editor in Wise Package Studio 7.0 or later
Software Virtualization Solution or its new version, which is called Symantec
Workspace Virtualization.
See "About software virtualization"
You can use software virtualization to facilitate the management of most
