# BACKUP FILES FOLDER SETTING
|
|
|
|
This setting controls where AyaNova stores backup and restore files used by the backup and restore features built into AyaNova.
|
|
In addition this folder is used when importing from an AyaNova 7 export file.
|
|
|
|
Warning: this folder MUST NOT be the same location set for [AYANOVA_FOLDER_USER_FILES](ops-config-folder-user-files.md) or AyaNova will not start.
|
|
|
|
## Default
|
|
|
|
If no override is specified AyaNova will store backup files in a `backupfiles` folder in the AyaNova root folder where AyaNova is started from.
|
|
|
|
## Overriding
|
|
|
|
AyaNova expects the backup files folder path to be provided by an environment variable or command line parameter named
|
|
|
|
`AYANOVA_FOLDER_BACKUP_FILES`
|
|
|
|
The value specified should be a string containing a fully qualified file path for the platform, for example:
|
|
`c:\data\ayanova\backupfiles`
|
|
|
|
Example command line parameter
|
|
|
|
`dotnet run --AYANOVA_FOLDER_BACKUP_FILES="/var/lib/ayanova/backupfiles"`
|
|
|
|
Example environment variable
|
|
|
|
Windows
|
|
|
|
`set "AYANOVA_FOLDER_BACKUP_FILES=c:\data\ayanova\backupfiles"`
|
|
|
|
Linux / MAC
|
|
|
|
`export AYANOVA_FOLDER_BACKUP_FILES="/var/lib/ayanova/backupfiles"`
|
|
|
|
If both a command line parameter and an environment variable are set the command line parameter takes precedence.
