martinthurn Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 On Windows, using the embedded database, I found that the .sdf files are stored under C:/Program Files/PlasticSCM5/server That is VERY BAD PRACTICE. You should NOT store any dynamic data under Program Files. How am I supposed to make an (automatic) backup of that? Your installer should ask the user where they want the data to be stored.

manu Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hello Martin, You can always modify the database path by changing the <DatabasePath></DatabasePath> value inside the db.conf file (@C:/Program Files/PlasticSCM5/server) https://plasticscm.com/documentation/administration/plastic-scm-version-control-administrator-guide.shtml What you can do is the following, stop the server, create a directory wherever you want, move all the sdf files to your new directory, set that directory as the DatabasePath and restart Plastic. If you don't have access to Program Files I can understand that is a bad practice, I have full access to my computer to it's not a problem for me, I'm using MariaDB for my Plastic SCM server and it has "C:\Program Files\MariaDB 10.0\data" as the default database path.
