GFI LANguard N.S.S. can store scan results in a Microsoft Access or Microsoft SQL Server database backend as well as to an XML file. By default, saved scan results are organized in a database containing the results data of the last 10 scans performed per scanning profile.

NOTE: You can configure the number of scan results that are stored in a database file. For more information on how to achieve this please refer to the ‘Manage saved scan results’ section in the ‘Database Maintenance Options’ chapter.

Saved scan results can also be re-loaded from XML file for further processing and analysis. To load saved scan results from the database backend:

1. Click on the Main button

2. Right-click on the Security Scanner (default) node and select Load saved scan results from… > Database.
