Set Up Response File Backups

intro....

TestNav has a default primary SRF save location for all computers and devices. For detailed information on saved response files (SRFs) and log files, see Understand SRFs and Log Files.

SFTP configuration is not supported by all assessment management systems. Consult your assessment management system user guide to determine whether the SFTP option is available.

Before testing, refer to your assessment management system user guide to configure TestNav and complete the following steps.

Configure student accounts to have complete read, write, and delete access in these save locations.
Communicate SRF and log file locations to test proctors.
Give proctors access to SRF and log files by either of the following:
- Grant admin rights to proctors on each testing computer.
- Instruct proctors to access these files while the student is logged in to the testing computer.
(Optional) Configure primary and a secondary save location through your assessment management system.

Default Primary Save Location

Operating System	SRF Location	Log File Location
Windows	{USER.HOME}\Pearson\srf\	{USER.HOME}\Pearson\logs\

Secondary Save Location

You can set a secondary save location through your assessment management system. Set a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) address as the save location to ensure that the secondary save applies to all testing computers and devices.

Pearson strongly recommends that you configure a network drive as a secondary save location to ensure that you do not lose responses, even if a student cannot continue to test on the same computer.
