Spotlight on: Background vault synchronization in RDM

Background vault synchronization in RDM simplifies the process of keeping offline files current, enabling users to focus on their tasks without interruptions. Whether you’re managing a few vaults or an extensive environment, this feature ensures you always have the most up-to-date information at your fingertips.

In version 2024.3, we introduced background vault synchronization, a much-requested feature designed to synchronize vaults seamlessly without interrupting user workflow.

Before this enhancement, Remote Desktop Manager (RDM) users had to load each vault individually in the user interface to ensure that their offline files were current. While functional, this method proved inefficient in larger environments, where RDM had to process each vault one at a time.

How to enable background vault synchronization

This powerful feature is available for SQL Server, Devolutions Server, and Devolutions Hub data sources. For Devolutions Hub, administrators must enable the feature through Hub’s web interface.

Enabling this feature is easy:

Navigate to Administration > System settings > Cache/Offline.
Enable the option Allow sync all vaults (background).

Next, configure your data source to take advantage of this feature:

Go to File > Data Sources and edit your data source.
Open the Advanced tab.
Select your preferred option in the Sync all vaults (background) dropdown menu.

For detailed guidance, refer to our documentation on background synchronization.
