Default Configuration File Directory

(and the Log File Location) cannot be modified once you are up and
running with Peaks Studio 5.1? I see they are greyed out. I guess
maybe you can set these when you first install Peaks. I'm not so much
bothered by the Log File, but I am interested in the Configuration
File since it is clear a lot of valuable material will accumulate
there over time.

Actually, it isn't possible to change the location of the
configuration file. We kept it visible in the GUI so users can easily
find its location. Would you like to store it somewhere else for
backup purposes?
Kind Regards,

Thinking about backing up the configuration file was how I realised I
could not move it. Routinely, we back up network drives but not local
disks, so nothing on my C drive gets backed up without some special
arrangement. Given that a lot of important settings will accumulate in
the Peaks .config file I was thinking to locate it on a network drive.
And then pray the network never goes down...

That's a good idea to keep a copy of the Peaks config file in a safe
place. I think the best option would be to save a copy of the config
file on the network drive every once and a while. You can reach the
config file by following the path: My Computer -> C: -> Documents and
Settings -> [user name] -> .peaks and save a copy of 'peaksconf.xml'
to the network drive. Another option would be to use a program called
'rsync' which you can configure to back up important files
automatically every once and a while.
