Tripp Lite B050-000 - Manual (Page 62)

Chapter 6. Menu Options
Please note that Drive Redirection works on a level which is far below the operating
system. That means that neither the local nor the remote operating system is aware
that the drive is currently redirected, actually. This may lead to inconsistent data as
soon as one of the operating systems (either from the local machine, or from the
remote host) is writing data on the device. If write support is enabled the remote
computer might damage the data and the file system on the redirected device. On
the other hand, if the local operating system writes data to the redirected device the
drive cache of the operating system of the remote host might contain older data. This
may confuse the remote host’s operating system. We recommend to use the Drive
Redirection with care, especially the write support.
