Move the Vault File Store

The file store and the database server work with each other. The database provides the index information for the location of the files. The file store is the secure location on the server where the files are located.

The file store can be moved from its existing location to another location on the same machine. To move a file store to a location on a remote machine, see Managing a Remote File Store in the Advanced Configuration Guide available in the online Vault knowledge base. Use only the server console or the command line utility to move a file store.

Note: Never directly move, delete, or edit a file in the file store. Use the Autodesk Data Management Server console to manage the file store.

If you want to move all the vaults to another computer, back up the vault on the existing server and restore the vault on the other server.

Note: The default path for the file store is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Autodesk\VaultServer\FileStore.
