How to move derby database (i.e project files) off C and onto my data drive

[mario-g]

Hi, from what I remember from the codebase, the file locations are hardcoded into the code, changing them requires a recompilation. Kind regards Mario

That way I can restore a disk image at any time without much further thought. I assume that the compendium database (and therefore project files) are on C. How can I move them to a different drive? — You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

WHERE DOES IT STORE THE DATA?

Thanks alot !
I am v worried about this - I dont want to have to image the whole drive just to protect my data.
Do you happen to know where it saves the data? Then I can copy just that folder.

Hi, I have to work it out from the code. Just to set expectations: the project is open source and not funded by anyone at the moment. I have a job taking up much of my day so I can't guarantee when I'll look at this ticket and what the result will be. That said, if you have a pressing need, the best way to get a quick response is to hire a Java developer to work it out for you. The code is open for anyone to look at. Otherwise, if you're not in a hurry or cannot justify the expense, I'll have a look eventually. Kind regards Mario

I also just found out that my version of Compendium (2 Beta 1 NE) doesn't seem to back up the data properly (using 'Project Management'). I lost half my blobs for an important project!

That would be so handy to find out the location of the database folder (on Windows 10) when you have a moment - or to link me to a general article that can tell me where its likely to store the derby database!

(Note, Im actually using this version of Compendium. Even tho I wanted to use NG, I saw a couple of problems (like not showing the number of included nodes), so I went for the 'safe' version: http://projects.buckinghamshum.net/compendiuminstitute/download/downloadresearch.htm)

Lol Im only a student - its a uni project :)
Luckily it was only small so I've just done it all again.
But I can see a day where I forget to backup a project and I write over the database with an old disk image!

I think I just found out where the NG database is. Now i just have to find the one for the version Im using. I assume it will have a folder called seg0?

Does this look like it? Stored on my desktop, which I've safely put on a drive that is NOT the C/system drive....
So basically its inside the install folder.
