# Backup files folder setting
|
|
|
|
This setting controls where AyaNova stores backup and restore files used by the backup and restore features built into AyaNova.
|
|
|
|
Warning: this folder MUST NOT be the same location set for [AYANOVA_ATTACHMENT_FILES_PATH](ops-config-folder-user-files.md) or [AYANOVA_TEMP_FILES_PATH](ops-config-folder-temporary-files.md) or AyaNova will not start.
|
|
|
|
## Default
|
|
|
|
If no override is specified AyaNova will store backup files in a `backup` folder in the location specified by [AYANOVA_DATA_PATH](ops-config-data-path.md) setting.
|
|
|
|
## Overriding
|
|
|
|
AyaNova expects the backup files folder path to be provided by a config.json property, environment variable or command line parameter named
|
|
|
|
`AYANOVA_BACKUP_FILES_PATH`
|
|
|
|
The value specified should be a string containing a fully qualified file path for the platform.
|
|
|
|
Example LINUX config.json entry
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
...other properties...
|
|
"AYANOVA_BACKUP_FILES_PATH": "/var/lib/ayanova/backupfiles"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example WINDOWS config.json entry
|
|
(Back slashes need to be **doubled** in config.json file or the server will fail to start)
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
...other properties...
|
|
"AYANOVA_BACKUP_FILES_PATH": "c:\\ProgramData\\backupfiles"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example command line parameter
|
|
|
|
`ayanova.exe --AYANOVA_BACKUP_FILES_PATH="/var/lib/ayanova/backupfiles"`
|
|
|
|
Example environment variable
|
|
|
|
Windows
|
|
|
|
`set "AYANOVA_BACKUP_FILES_PATH=c:\ProgramData\ayanova\backupfiles"`
|
|
|
|
Linux
|
|
|
|
`export AYANOVA_BACKUP_FILES_PATH="/var/lib/ayanova/backupfiles"`
