Change storage path location for the Resilio Connect Management Console

Storage path is the directory where the Management Console keeps its setting, database files, debug logs and other service information. For default storage folder location, see Storage Folder.

It's possible to keep the storage on a different location. Follow the steps below for Windows. It is vital that:

  • The user under who the MC runs has recursive read-write access to the new storage location.
  • The new storage location already exists on the server.

  1. After the MC is installed, open Services and stop Resilio Active Everywhere Management Console service. Mc Change Storage Location Services

  2. Open Windows Registry editor and navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\resilio-connect-server. Mc Change Storage Location Regedit

  3. Double-click Image path and enter the path to the new storage location with an --appdata parameter, for example,"--appdata" "K:\server"

Note

The folder you select must already exist.

  1. If necessary, copy the files from default storage location to the new location. Do not delete the current storage location until verifying that everything is configured correctly.

  2. Start the Management Console service. MC will use the new storage location. One of the ways to confirm that is the "Modified" timestamp of common.log and audit.log files - it will be updated to the current time.

  1. Stop the Management Console process.

  2. Copy the content of {path_to_resilio-connect-server}/var to a new location.

  3. Run your service with the --appdata parameter and path to a new location: /opt/resilio-connect-server/srvctrl start --appdata /new/storage/path

If the MC starts as a daemon, fix its .service file accordingly and add the parameter to the launch command.
