Detaching a vault disconnects it from the server so it can be moved to another location. Before detaching the master vault database, you must detach all other databases. The vault and its log file are detached. The names of the files for a vault named "Vault" are:
- Vault.mdf
- Vault_log.ldf
These files must exist as a pair and cannot be renamed. The default location for these files is:
- C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data
Detaching a vault removes all permissions to the vault. Once the vault is re-attached, permissions for each user and group must be reassigned. In a multi-site environment, the file store path is deleted for all other sites. If the vault is re-attached, the file store path must be reassigned at each site.
- In the navigation pane, open the Vaults folder and then select a vault to detach.
- Select Actions
Detach. - You are prompted to confirm your actions. Click OK.
The vault and its log file are detached.
After the vault is detached, you can move the two corresponding files. The .mdf and .ldf files must be kept together. Attaching a vault reconnects the set of vault files that have been moved to the database engine.
