QVD

[krishnjha]

Is there any way where we can prevent QVD from getting re-written  accidently.

Hi @krishnjha 
I'm afraid that QVD has the functionality to prevent being overwritten.
You may need a system to back up a file to a different place.

Thanks for help @Ayaka_Hanazono . But I am curious now why this feature not had been included.

QVD as QVF files are files that get updated based on what is performed by the App developer. As such they follow the same logic where the admin/developer should have backup copies. More information on restoring Apps, conditional reload and qvd best practices is available under links below:
