Automatically Collect the Support Bundle Data
You can use the Collect Support Bundle option to automatically save a copy
of the support bundle when the client monitor process detects a critical
event. You can enable or disable this feature and save the location of the
support bundle.
During a critical event, the support bundle is saved to the local physical disk
of the client system in the same area that is used for other recovery
information. This information is not overwritten for at least 72 hours.
WARNING: Use this option only under the guidance of your Technical Support
representative.
