Move a File Store with the File Server Console

The file store can be moved from its existing location to another location on the same machine.

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.

Note: Never directly move the file store. Use the Autodesk File Server console or Autodesk Data Management Server Console to move the file store.

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