File Stores

A Vault Server environment consists of two main components: the database component and the file store component.

The database provides the index information for the location of the files, whereas the file store is the physical location of the stored files. Each new vault the environment has a unique database and file store.

The file store location defaults to C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\VaultServer\FileStore.

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.

Each data file is stored in its own folder in a normal, uncompressed format.
