Location for data storage

Post by mpittman »

The local high school has Cumulus installed on one Windows 7 PC, but it only works for an account with admin rights. Normal users cannot access or write to C: drive. Is there any way to get Cumulus to locate its data on a network drive?

The data folder has to be in the same place as the cumulus.exe executable. It's possible that this will change in a future version of Cumulus.

hi Mp

Am assuming you want the data to be available for others to use?

As a backup system, I copy all my data to a NAS (xternal storage)every week.

I also copy the system files weekly.

Would this do if the NAS had general access?

The dayfile.txt and other data files are uploaded to the web site so I have 2 c records for data backup
