Auto-storage mode is the default and recommended configuration storage option. It is a hybrid mode that stores configuration files on both the file system and the database (in table [sf_xml_config_items]).

When Sitefinity CMS uses FileSystem storage mode, you can switch to Auto-storage mode.
IMPORTANT: Once you switch to Auto-storage mode, you cannot switch back to any different configuration storage option.
