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 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.
