SQLite

Remote Desktop Manager's SQLite data source is ideal for single user and stand-alone situations. More powerful and more flexible than the XML file format, it also supports a few of the Advanced Data Source options like Logs and Attachments.

Highlights

  • Full connection log and attachments support.
  • The Online backup service is available for this data source.

Key points to consider:

  • All passwords are encrypted by default by Remote Desktop Manager. You can specify a custom password to fully encrypt the content of the SQLite database.
  • Password recovery is not possible, the data will be unrecoverable if you cannot authenticate. Please ensure you backup the password in a safe place.
  • SQLite supports an unlimited number of simultaneous readers, but will only allow one writer at any instant in time. For this reason Remote Desktop Manager does not support sharing a SQLite data source between several users by storing it on a network drive. If you want to share your data and work in a team environment with your colleagues, please use one of the advanced data sources. Please consult SQLite.org for more information.

Master key management

You can specify a master key to further encrypt your data. Specify it at creation time. If the data source already exists, you can modify the master key in File – Manage master key.
