Basically, at login everybody gets the same default profile, into which are
merged specific details like mail profile details etc. At logout, the specific
required parts are extracted and saved on the network, ready for remerging at
next login while the profile itself is discarded.
All the info is at

We don't use the full package but still reap huge benefits. Previously, profile
corruption was a major problem for us.

We use a slightly modified version of flex profiles so we backup only the parts
of the user profile that need to be backed up. Our profile problems have
evaporated since we started working that way.

Subject: [THIN] Backing up user profiles on Citrix?
How many of you back up all the user profiles on your Citrix servers (and use
Citrix primarily as a remote access solution)? We have not been backing them
up, as documents are supposed to be in our Document Management System, and we
don't back up any folders on users desktops. Recently we had to restore our
Citrix server and I have gotten several complaints that their autocomplete in
Outlook no longer works, since their NK2 file was not restored.
I would be interested to see how many back these kinds of files up. I have had
no one complain that a document or bookmark was lost, but several complaints
that the loss of this file will cause hours of work and lost contacts.
Thanks
