Installing Vault Server on Another Drive

One of our partners asked how it might be possible to install Vault on another when the C:\ drive runs out of space.

Possibly the simplest way to achieve this is to modify the Windows registry

Run "Regedit "

Navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion"

Edit the Following variables

Change the Value Data for "ProgramFilesDir" to #:\Program Files (DEFAULT = C:\Program Files)

Change the Value Data for "ProgramFilesDir (x86)" to #:\Program Files (x86 (DEFAULT = C:\Program Files (x86))

Where # indicates the drive letter you want to divert the installation to.

If SQL is already installed it will be necessary to uninstall it and reinstall it after modifying the above registry setting.

If you are already using Vault Server, you can use the Backup and Restore utility in Vault Manager to move your database. Simply create a backup, then restore it, but specify a different target location for the database.
